fuchsia fusion box

hello again good morning to you all

 it's launch day  are you all set…

this time a fuchsia fusion box for you

i first emulsion the box in normal household  matt paint

roughly marked in pencil where i wanted the silver mirri frame to be on the lid

stamped a few leaves and  the 2 flowers in place which then got painted and left to dry

while it was drying i stamped  more leaves and flowers painted in the fusion style let them dry

cut out the frame with the Grande decal nestie die mounted on foam tape

cut out the leaves and flowers and arranged around the frame with 3d gel adding more pearl sprigs as stamens

  added peel offs around the edge one finished box

you can get lots of depth and dimension

  love the effect  it’s very easy to do

give it ago

Decoupage fusion picture frame

hi everyone 

Wow day before the launch of the fusion range from Sheena Douglass

where has this week gone more shocking weather is on it’s way  so im told…

right what did i do here….

i first stamped the greeting and fancy  snow flake  and heat embossed with gold embossing powder

slid into the frame didn’t want to scare you with a picture of my face lol

then i set about stamping the fuchsia’s and leaves ready to paint i did 3  stamped images for the flowers

i wanted to do a bit of decoupage only painting the pieces i needed

then i sat cutting them out layered up with 3d gel

i added some pearl bead  sprigs for the stamens on a couple of flowers to give some movement  and to be honest there was no way i was cutting those out lol

just a little project  which i really enjoyed playing with would look so special with  a family photo in just something different to a flat boring frame why not have ago

the frame was from ikea

Fusioned Des Res for the Birdies

shouldn’t be playing  but hey !!! why not…

had this little wooden bird house  undercoated for ages and never got round to finishing it

so i had to fusion it with the lilac stamps

the lilac in my garden is the same colour as the bird house flowers

so it might find a home in my garden once it warms up

you never know  some little bird might move in lol

had to stop painting fingers are far too cold..

fusion rose stamp

good morning all 

what a night it’s been here so darn cold –12 at 10pm im still up watching a silly movie on TV god knows why its rubbish

but have to see how it ends

they tell us it will get warmer but then we will get more snow Thursday or Friday how nice is that …

we still have snow and thick ice  nasty stuff .

i have decided the only snow i like is on a Christmas card  lol

 

here is the  new rose stamp from Sheena Douglass

sorry for poor quality of picture the flash has taken some of the colour out

i painted a backing paper using the colours i  use in the rose and let them mix on there own

stamped the image on topper then once it was dry i wet the water colour paper around the rose and dropped in some more colours then let them spread on there own you get a very soft edge effect

i added some glossy accents with a touch of crystal glitter matted onto gold mirri card

thank you for popping by
