"Die Cuts and More"

Here is my Project for the Challenge:

I altered old metal spoons by first coloring them with alcohol inks to give it a vintage look and then decorating them with different embellishments. I have used glitter and added tiny flowers, beads and stones. Finally I glued chain and tied ribbon around them. The photos are glued and layered with mod podge.

Here is another pic:

I love the way these spoons turned out and keeping them as a decoration with sentiment ‘life is beautiful’.

Hope you like it :)

Be sure to check back for more inspiration in the next few days!

Take care :)

BGC#48 - A Shabby chic Altered cake tin !

Hello everyone !!! 

Its PJ again !

Hope u are enjoying our super amazing theme this fortnight,

BGC#48 - Vintage/Shabby and Dinnerware

The sponsors this time are -

"Die Cuts and More"

 

Do check out all the awesome products they have over at their store ! 

 

Now here is my take on the challenge.

 I wanted to play with my cake baking tin ! so i went ahead and added about 2 layers of ready mix white paint . I wanted it to look crackled and shabby with the Matt effect hence i didn't bother about the neatness while painting my coats.

 I cut out a circle with cardstock for the inside. 

I then used some texture paste through a diecut negative i had . (check out the texture paste in tiny dots all over the place but mainly under the feathers.)

 After that i went ahead and stamped a text script stamp randomly .

Over which i layered all my embellies ! 

Really love how it turned out !

I really enjoy doing shabby chic and this project its perfect fit with the theme.  

Here is how the tin was before the transformation 

And after !!

Hope you enjoyed my creation ! :) 

Do link up your projects asap ! 

I know the theme will test your imagination but,

we would love to see how we managed to inspire you !

"Die Cuts and More"

Here is my mason jar. I use these for canning and storage. My favorite use for them is fresh flowers in the spring and summer months!  My beautiful children share my love affair with flowers and will fill these from our yard daily. Since it sits in the center of our table I decided to make it lively as well. 

I started with this plain jar and painted it using chalkboard paint. I did try acrylic but it was not good. It took two nice coats of this paint and it achieved the shabby feel I was going for. I then sanded the raised areas to allow light to shine thru. ( I thought it would be a candle holder, and it certainly could be!) 

I handcut each of the flowers.

I wanted it to look nice from both sides so this is a shot of the back.

My pesky fur baby was determined to distract me while trying to get the photos.  She, like my children, is very demanding when she wants attention. 

Well I cant wait to see what everyone creates!! Remember to link up in Bipasha's original post HERE!

Have a great week!!
