Anything Goes Week- Fiona Randall

 

Morning all Fiona here with my project for this weeks theme Anything Goes.

I love Tando Grey Board sheets and decided to construct a little shrine. It was so easy to cut and construct this little box shape. A background paper was created with Distress Inks and some stamping. The box was given a distressed effect with DecoArt Chalky finish paints and the background paper was glued into place. The edges were swiped with DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Burnished Brass. Embossed Die cut trims were given a coat of DecoArt Media fluid acrylic in gold dried then given a coat of DecoArt Antiquing cream in black and wiped back to give an aged finish. A Tando bookplate was given a coat of DecoArt tinting base and then glazed using speckled egg distress embossing glaze. The Tando layered butterfly base was given a coat of Speckled egg Distress paint and the top layer of the butterfly was ran through an embossing folder and given the same treatment as the embossed trim. The bookplate and the butterfly were then layered up onto the background within the shrine.  The wooden Finials were given a coat of paint and sanded in areas to distress. Metalic Lustre in burnished brass was then swiped over the distressed areas before gluing onto the base and the top of the shrine. To finish the word dream from a Chocolate Baroque stamp set was stamped onto white card stock and attached to the butterfly. I am quite pleased how this turned out. It is amazing what you can create from a few pieces of Grey Board- that's why I love the stuff.

Thanks for stopping by today

Snowflake Shrine

Here is my take on the Same But Different week using the {Shrine}:

I glued it together using gel medium and once dry, painted it with gesso and added a thick, rough coat of {DecoArt White Modelling Paste} to the roof and floor and left it to dry thoroughly.

I then used spray inks to colour the insides and built up the colour in layers until I was happy with it.

Once dry, I painted the outside with acrylic paints, then used snowflake stamps and white embossing powder.

I gave the roof and floor a coat of DecoArt Glitter Paint.

Finally, I decorated 3 snowflakes from the {Snowflake Mini} and {5 Snowflakes} packs with acrylic paint and glitter glue before fastening the largest 2 with a brad.

I did aim to hang snowflakes inside the shrine, but when it came to doing it, it was far too fiddly so I built a stem for the snowflake using{Grid Rectangles}!

I added a battery operated tealight to finish off.

As is always the case, the photos don't show off the glitter very well.

3D Skeleton Shrine

Hi! Dana here today sharing the Shrine I altered for the 3D theme this week. The holiday decorations have already hit the stores, so I thought it would be fun to get a bit of a head start on my Halloween crafting. I altered a shrine a couple weeks ago that was pretty and elegant (click HERE to see that piece), so I was ready for this project to be a little more frightful.

I started this project by priming both sides of all the pieces of the shrine with a white spray primer. Next, I spread DecoArt White Modelling Paste over the Stripes Mask onto the outer sides and roof of the shrine. Once the paste was dry, I sprayed the same pieces with a silver mist. Finally, I inked the pieces with several colors of chalk ink and assembled walls of the shrine, holding the pieces together with hot glue.

Next, I spritzed the inside of the shrine with yellow and black mist. I love the moldy looking result! I used hot glue to attach a skeleton, resin rose, and moss to the back wall of the shrine. I added some gold rhinestone trim around the base of the shrine.

I finished this piece by gluing on the roof. I embellished the roof with metallic sticker trim, more moss, and a brass cross that I distressed with Black Diamond ColoriQue.

Dreamer Shrine

Hi! Dana here today sharing the Shrine I altered for the Spray Ink theme this week. I started this project by priming both sides of all the pieces of the shrine with a white spray primer. Next, I spread DecoArt White Modelling Paste over the stencil from the Nathalie Kalbach Fashion Dame Rubber Stamp Set onto the outer sides and roof of the shrine. Once the paste was dry, I sprayed the same pieces with a silver mist. Finally, I inked the edges with several colors of chalk ink and assembled walls of the shrine, holding the pieces together with hot glue.

Next, I spritzed the inside of the shrine with yellow mist. I used hot glue to attach a weathered metal butterfly, ornate metal oval, and blue gemstone to the back wall of the shrine. I added some silver rhinestone trim and a sticker to the base of the shrine.

I finished this piece by gluing on the roof pieces and topping it with a metal crown.
