French Country Treasure Box

Hello friends! I'm here today to show a little altered box. It started out as one of Graphic 45's Mini Book Boxes and was covered with G45's French Country. Ooh la la!

Thanks for visiting today - see you soon!

Cheers,

Hummingbird Altered Block

Hiya! I have a new altered block to share today, made from Graphic 45's Botanical Tea paper. 

I cut around the hummingbirds in a general way, then used Mod Podge to adhere it to light cardboard. (Also know as a cereal box.) I then stuck both of those to a pattered scrap to coordinate the back of the wings. Once dried, I used a sharp X-Acto knife and a lot of patience to cut through the thickness. (And ended up white washing the backs anyway, so the stripes don't show much. Ha!) See how I wrapped the background paper around the side? I like the effect.

The base is an old wood knob found at a thrift store, painted coral and a bit of ivory. The rosette is just a 1/2" x 12" strip of paper from the collection scored at 1/4" intervals.

Thanks for visiting today!

Cheers,

Bun Bun Garland

Hello hello! Bun Bun and his friends are stopping in to say hello with me. We all hope your day was grand. :)

There are 9 panels to the garland: 

These were made using Pion Designs' Fairytale of Spring paper collection from a few years ago. I've been hoarding it until now!

The rosettes are made from fantastic heavy-weight crepe paper. It's like nothing I've seen before and I'm over the moon about it! I found it at Castles In The Air, thanks to my fabo-riffic sister Lora.

Thanks for visiting today! I've got a few projects to share this week - see you then!

Cheers,

Susan
