Happy Anniversary

I received this gorgeous resin heart as part of my GDT package for Sarah Wright who owns 

All Day Crafting and this is from The resin Embellishment which is part of that online shop too, she also sells via Face Book,

Anyway I thought wow, so many uses for this heart, wedding etc but went for a shabby chic Wedding Anniversary look instead,

The papers are by Stamperia from the Ceremony paper collection, these I also bought off Sarah, they are gorgeous and love the colours, I layered up a few layers some with foam pads behind after cutting them to size then I distressed the edges with vintage photo distress ink and a distress tool,

I then layered some lace from my stash across the card, then hot glued the Resin Heart over the top,

I added a bow made out of Seam Binding, a little sisal, a twine Bow and finished it off with a pearl looking bead,

Lastly I added a fussy cut out Butterfly from one of the papers,

I added a BlooMar Design Wedding Anniversary Chip Board at the top to finish it off, this was kept in it's natural colour,

A little Bit Of Rustic Country Home

I've another bit of Mixed media on my blog today, as you know the lovely Sarah asked me to be a GDT for her Resin Embellishment Shop, which is part of  her Crafting All Day online shop, Sarah sells through Face Book as well, I just got some awesome Resins in my box, I mean wow!!

So what to choose first, well it had to be this gorgeous Resin window, yes I have a thing for windows, don't like cleaning them though!!! lol

so anyway here is my mixed media tag ,

I have some MDF tags in my stash so I started with one of those and cut to shape a piece of paper from the Stamperia Roses and Laces collection pad, this I then distressed along the edges before fixing onto my tag,

I added some twine through the hole in the top,

I hot glued the inner sections (Shutters) of the window so it appeared open then added some Finnabair wax on the top for a little added colour, then glued some cheesecloth behind, I then hot glued this on place, around the window are some Dusty Attic Mini bricks, which I colovered with some Finnabair pumice stone effect paste then when dry went over with vintage photo distress ink and ground Espresso, this gave a lovely rustic look to the bricks,

I used a real branch of a tree which fell off last fall, I then  trimmed it down to size and shape, I glued a Bloomar chipboard fence onto the tag, which I had simply coloured with some vintage photo distress ink over the top, then I  glued the branch in front of that, at the top of the branch and around the right hand side of the tag I added some Moss,

some metal gardening tools from my stash and a paper flower I had made from a Lady E Design flower die, Flower 5 Hydrangea was placed at the front too, along with some tiny leaves from the Tiny Leaves die,

I used some more of the paper leaves and some flowers made with the same die and paper then added some foamiran ones made with the Tiny Flowers dies, again by Lady E Design,

I hope you like my rustic looking  country home tag,
