Welcome to your new home

Hi guys, I'm back today with our latest challenge for we do doobadoo which is 

pins and pearls,

I've made this display for my Daughter and her hubby who are moving into their new home soon, we will be helping them with a few jobs which need doing first like painting and decorating etc so I made their card now lol,

As you know Kay's not into overly fussy or fancy so I've tried to keep it fussy free well for me at least!!!

Some of the DD products were in my latest DT package and were fab timing for what i needed to make,

I cut the house shape out of card stock and Maja Design paper from Live and love crafts then using another of the DD templates adapted the window and the door, I used the window template but left a border round, I didn't want a perfect look to the border so it kept in with the shabby chic theme, I stained the frame with distress ink here and there and add acetate behind with a small piece of another Maja design paper behind that,

the brick effect is made with a new soft board as is the roof design, all links below,

Closer view of soft board and window, to finish off the roof and to add some pearl detail I added a couple of paper art butterfly and a pearl flourish for their tails,

At the bottom of the display is one of the new paper art fences  and in front are a couple of the paper art flowers, as you can see there are a couple of pearls on here too,  the tree is a la la la crafts die and i added pearls on this also for blossom, 

the DD paper art keys I slightly edged with distress ink in vintage photo,

For the front garden of the house I used a  DD brick stencil with grunge paste for texture and detail, I should have heat dried this as it made my card  base wobble lol,

here too you can see the pins  I got from Live and Love crafts,used with my flowers from Sweet Lilac, Tilda with Ice and on the road Tilda are coloured with my copics then fussy cut out,  too these I have then added a strip or two of acetate behind to make them stand up,

I also couldn't resist another of the Maja design clocks peeking out from behind the seam binding also from LLC,

the awesome crochet doily was made by my lovely sis again thanks Ann I love it, I can't crochet for the life of me but Ann does it beautifully lol xx

Closer view, the sentiment strip came off one of the Pion  papers too

The flowers are by sweet lilac and last week my hubby was good enough to run me to their shop, wow do they have some lovely flowers!!!!!!

Art from the heart

Hi guys, just popping on with a creation I have done using the fabulous  MDF pallet by Dutch Doobadoo,

460.440.020

I'm going to have this in my craft room when I get it back lol, I used gesso on the pallet first then added distress paint in different colours here and there, when this was dry I used grunge paste to make paint like blobs, again when dry i then coloured these with more of the distress paint, to add a little interest I stamped a couple of butterflies and the word free too,

A new canvas digi by Saturated Canary seemed perfect for my pallet and I coloured her with my copics and then fussy cut her out, I shaped her sllightly and layered her onto my pallet with pinflair glue,

I added some old paint brushes, a little ribbon and twine plus some flowers from stash and finished off the look with a little picket fence distress paint,

the words are from  Tim Holtz  Idea-ology chit chat stickers,

Is this what they call mixed media???? lol
