Decoupage Tray

Sharing a decoupage project which was in my TO DO list for several months. Followed a tutorial (with a few alterations) by Divya of Yelling Yellow who has also designed these "royal" Indian themed designer papers.

The 12x12 paper fits perfectly into the tray. I have first distressed the paper edges using tumbled glass & stamped the script with archival ink. Patterns were randomly stenciled in versamark & perfect pearls used on these (not sure whether the photograph does justice to the awesome distressing & glimmer of the perfect pearls)

I am a hoarder (especially of pattern papers) & though I bought these papers almost immediately on seeing Divya's tutorial I never had the heart to run my scissors through them..............now, I am so glad I did!!!!

FLOWER POWER - 2

This is the second part of my recap of the flowers I have made. If you have missed the first part please hop over here.

As a part of my DT inspiration for the Color Conceptions blog, I had made two tags which you can see here. You all know how I love to play around with techniques. When I chanced upon this particular tutorial I had to try it out.

Sharing step by step photo instructions on the making of these blooms.

Stamp the images (penny black petal party), color using distress inks (mustard seed & spiced marmalade).

Sprinkle some beeswax (fortunately I had this in my stash). Melt the beeswax by gently ironing over, of course by protecting between layers of paper. Make sure the wax spreads evenly across the flowers.

Viola there you have a super glossy, shiny coat over the flowers & believe me these are beauties in real. Try dusting perfect pearls................as I have done in one set.

Glue the two layers...................

Another attempt using Tim Holtz tattered florals die cuts. Before assembling the flower try adding some texture using a embossing folder (Darice - basket weave)

Closer look at this elegant bloom..................
