Home Decor

Hi friends..Today I am  sharing a decor piece which I made using cardboard and few wooden pieces.

First I covered the cardboard (6" * 8") piece using card stock and gessoed it.After it dried I applied texture paste using brick stencil and sprinkled some silver glitter dots.I sprayed little birdie lemon zing color splash till I get desired background. Applied Vintage photo DI using brick stencil at few areas to add additional interest. 

                              

I made these Quilled pots & cactus with 5 mm maroon and green strips while flowers and leaves using 3 mm strips.

                         

These small triangular wooden pieces are left over from a carpentering work at my friend's place.She has collected these pieces thinking that I will make something with these.I painted these with copper metallic color.

I die cut the corner from the wedding invitation.Finally added glossy accent on the die cut words.

Jewel Box

Hi friends...Today I am going to share a project where I recycled  Dove soap boxes,few wedding invitations and some cardboards...A jewel box...

Inside View...

First I cut the top part of the soap box and stick three boxes together..then stick cardboard pieces on the sides to make it thick..Made the flap with cardboard.I covered whole with wedding invitation.And I decorated it with die cuts which again are cut from the wedding invitations...

For the feet, I used quilled tight coil and painted it in gold color.

First I made up my mind not to added some flowers as it will easy to handle,but I was satisfied after adding some flowers only.

Roses Layout

Hi Friends…

This is my last minute entry to "Lessology – Happy mail day".... The base is an old invitation envelope.. cream color CS stick over it and above that weaved some handmade paper strips…

I made some types of roses like rolled roses, roses using balloon punch and tiny rose and buds…Followed the tutorial of Dr.Sonia for yellow rose and leaves…Using the glitter pen, veins of leaves are marked..

Again the photo frame is also an old invitation..I just cut  the center part of upper layer without disturbing the border.. We can insert the photo from envelope opening itself..Jazz it with some pearls..

“Be happy” is hand written on torn paper which is again glued to torn paper on which I applied some glitter by hand…The Gold thread is recycled from a wedding invitation..
