Creative Expressions Thursday

Hi Folks.

Hope you are all having a great week, Thursday already hey Where does the time go ?

We were sent some lovely background stamps this month for the design team as you all saw last week well we were also sent some of the new lovely chipboard shapes made by Pronti which our Hels was demoing on C&C Sunday so I decided to use one of those this week and alter it a little.
I used the Frame Birdhouse and it looked like this to start.

 Its a bit blurry as I nicked the image from the internet (forgot to do it before I lathered paint all over it haha.

Here it is after.

It will take a while to get all round it as there are lots of different elements all made or sold by Creative Expressions of course, I even through in a couple Of Wendy Vechi resin flowers, Some of the new Cameo holders ( the cameo isn't Creative I am afraid) There is one of the metal corners on the top that I had on my show last time too.

 A bit closer so you can see the cracks in the paint and on the frame you can just see that I used the leafy background stamp too.

 I also used the floral background stamp in the centre on the blue part but unfortunately the camera didn't pick it up so well but you can see it in person of course.

 In the original all the elements, the flowers and birds etc were all attached in the centre but I wanted to cut them all separate and use them in different places. I even made a few buds for the little corner.

Here it is on its little stand to dry, The brown section has a blue base so that up close you can see the blue come through all the little cracks and sanded parts , The little birds are painted and then covered in microbeads. The hearts are pink with glitter on them. The whole thing has Pewter Creative Expressions gilding wax on and the metal embellishments were all changed from antique gold to pewter with this same product.

Hope you enjoyed this little altered frame and you can joint me tomorrow for another make and a little chat. 

I was at Creative Towers this week and they are all very busy for the stitches Trade show Over the weekend at the NEC so I got to see lots of new and amazing products coming very soon to Creative. wow is all I can say you are all in for some gorgeous treats and I can't wait til my next show is all I can say . hehe.

Big old hugs
