"Treasure" Shadowbox by Elena Martynova

Hi dear friends!

It's Elena Martynova here today and I'm so excited 

to share my new project.

For our blog, I made such an interior thing - a shadowbox "Treasure".

I wanted to dive into the world of mixed-media, and play with colors and textures.
In addition, the blank for the shadowbox has been lying around for several years.

I made two doors - top and bottom and immediately there 

was a mystery - what is hidden behind them?

I decorated them with chipboard elements and small metal handles.

Let's open the top door first.

I put a picture of a lady in a frame here. Perhaps it was she who owned
these treasures, who knows... We also find two letters from the game Scrabble A and K.
It's probably her initials.

I used a mould by Finnabair to make these wonderful decorative elements.

Let's skip the Central part for now and open the lower door.

It hides three light bulbs, a clock chip on a metal flower, and three more letters.

In the Central part you will see an inscription with the name of the shadowbox, 

I also added some metal jewelry and a glass bottle filled with microbeads.

I took 7 DOTs Studio paper for the background.

 

I was glad to inspire you today! See you soon, bye-bye!

Album - Alice in Wonderland By Elena Martynova

Hello! lovely creative friends!

 Today I'd like to share with you my new inspiration -

 a mixed media album with amazing 2Crfaty products!

I've been creating this album for a whole year. 

Now with gusto making several pages at once, then putting it off for several months. 

Originally there were supposed to be five spreads but 

I had a lot of paper left, so I made two more.

I also had to redo the binding, which further increased the album's creation time.

There were no thoughts at all about the cover. I kept sorting through

 the pieces of fabric and suede... but there was nothing suitable. 

I decided to use linen with gray stripes, but it had to be combined with 

something and so successfully came a piece of scarlet linen. 

I wrapped them around the ends of the pages, the spine, and added them to the front cover.

Size 26x26 cm, spine thickness 9 cm

First, I stamped the fabric on the cover and applied crackle paste through a stencil.

Chipboard covered with black embossing powder.

Layered pieces of paper, lace and cutting.

Decorated with flower metal door handle and toppings: with micro beads and glitter.

I invite you to view the album review with all the secrets

 and openers, and then photos of the pages.

I painted chipboards with metallic colors by the Fabrika Decoru.

On the cover and this spread I used these 

2Crafty Chipboard pieces....

Clock Face Discs

Frame Ingrid's

Formal Flourish 3

Flourish Adornment Set 6

 

I like the second spread very much due to the contrasting 

combination of pink and blue paper. Very beautiful contrast.

Pages were decorated with a Moroccan Bits chippies.

The third spread is in pink and beige colors. 

I added a bit of contrast by coloring the chipboard in blue shades.

On these spread here are the chippies:

Moroccan Bits

Steampunk Collage 

Checkerboard Panel

 

The fourth spread  is also my favorite. 

Mainly due to how well the chipboard fit in here.

This is how the inside of the page is decorated

an Elegant Flourishes chippie and a bit of stamping underneath.

 

The large dial is only half-glued to the page.

This spread is the richest on the chipboards,
 I made a separate collage for it.

Clock Face Discs

6" Clock Face Frames

Key Set Mini's

Elegant Flourishes

 

The fifth spread, which should have been the last.

It looks unusual due to the diamond-openers.

I'm just in love in this chip frame Lucy's Flourish with curls  :)))

The sixth spread was very rich due to the paper prints.

I don't really like it, but it's here unusual triangular opening pages.

These chips were used in the fifth and sixth spreads

Element Set 3

Frame Lucy's Flourish

Ornate Buckles 

Steampunk Collage

 

And finally the final seventh spread.
