Happy Holiday Shrines...PaintPartyFriday!

I did one swap for the Holidays this year....Wendy of BlissAngels and I made each other altered shrines using kits from RetroCafeArt. Wendy sent me this beautiful Winter shrine...

And I am sending Wendy the first one pictured above. Apparently, I'm not happy unless I've painted something with as many layers of paint as possible! The image used is from the new SugarPlumsFairyKit by HiddenVintageSTudios. I put both shrine pics thru filters at Pixlr O-Matic.

I'm linking to PaintPartyFriday this week...Have a great weekend everyone! xo

p.s. I'm having an end of year giveaway, here is the POST with more info.

Paint Party Friday...a Wee Bit Early!

Hello and Happy Paint Party Friday! I was so excited to announce earlier in the week that I was published in the Nov/Dec 2013 issue of SomersetStudio!

The art featured above is on page 126...it's mixed media collage on small birch wood pieces, I believe they are 3x6 (approx)  I used images from HiddenVintageStudio along with vintage book pages, acrylic paints, inks, pencil and lots of chunky glitter!

Thanks so much for stopping by, I know I haven't been as active recently...I have been visiting everyone's posts but haven't been able to leave comments on them all. Wishing everyone a Happy Weekend and Happy PPF! xo

Blue & BrokenHearted Valentine Ornament....Tutorial!

I made this hanging Valentine Ornament using images from the new kit by HiddenVintageStudios.....

Want to make a Valentine Ornament like mine? Here's how I did it....

Supplies you will need: Images from BlueandBrokenheartedKit, small to medium sized Valentine paper plate (I got mine at Walmart), a crepe paper fan (I got mine from Hobby Lobby), ribbon, lace, plastic Valentine Heart embellishment, strong glue ( I used Aleene's Tacky Glue), glitter and tulle for accent.

1. Assemble 'doll' from images from kit. I glued mine but you could also use brads to make the arms and legs move.
2. Glue ends of crepe paper fan together so it remains open and glue to paper plate, center as desired.
3. While that is drying, add glue to edges of plate and sprinkle with glitter. Let all this dry.
4. Glue doll to front, make sure to use enough glue to make your doll secure.
5. Add hanger on top by gluing ribbon or string to back of plate.
6. Add lace to bottom by gluing lace to back bottom of plate.
7. Add tulle around doll, glue in place.
8. Let it all dry completely!

Hope you enjoy making your ornament and please visit DeviantScrap to see all the wonderful kits and designs! xo
