"Sweet" Altered Wooden Star by Tania Ridgwell

Hello there!

Tania joining you today to share my second project for October.
I have created a Beyond the Page project by altering a Wooden Star.

"Sweet"

2 Crafty Products Used:

*Funky Heart Swirls

*Window Shutter Set 3

*Parisian Border

*6" Wrought Iron Border

*Word Circles Set 1

I have used the gorgeous Mintay Nightfall Collection to create this project.  Once I chose the
paper for the background on the star I set about decorating.

I painted the Funky Heart Swirls and Window Shutter Set 3 Chipboard with Brush n' Leaf
Interior Silver Paint. The Sweet Round and the Parisian & Wrought Iron Borders Chipboard
have been sprayed with Black Marble Dylusions Shimmer Spray.

I first added the Parisian & Wrought Iron Borders down the centre of the star,  added paper
layers over them so they would show at each end, then added the Window Shutter.
Once happy I added a photo.  I added the Sweet Round Chipboard title to the top right
of the photo.   I embellished the star with flowers and fussy cut elements and to finish I
tucked in the Funky Heart Swirls amongst the flowers. 

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my little Beyond the Page project. 
Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

The Beautiful Moments - with Emma Zappone & BONUS VIDEO

Happy Thursday!
Emma today with you and I'm sharing a soft feminine layout with you all.

And these are the gorgeous chipboard pieces featured....
Clock Face Discs
Hand drawn Flowers
Window Shutter set 3

These pieces are just asking to be used and so i generously obliged...hehehe!

I started by prepping my chipboard with gesso. everything but the small clock face was primed with a white Gesso. The clock face was with a Black Gesso.

My choice of medium for the pieces to come to life was 3 different coloured Distress Glazes. 
The beautiful Window shutter was treated with all 3 colours starting with Vintage Photo, then hitting it in spots with a little Peeled paint, finally finishing it off with a light sprinkling of Antique Linen to really give it a Shabby Chic feel.

The flower and leaves only had the antique Linen and peeled paint. I love how on the chippy it just beads and shines beautifully. Lastly the Clock had Vintage photo and peeled paint, the colour doesn't pop quite the same on black but it sure does glisten!

You can see all the chipboard treatments and the layout come together in this video I made for you to enjoy. I hope you get a little inspiration from it also.

I will see you soon, stay crafty!
