Some WOW DT Projects To Share!

Hello there!!

This afternoon I wanted to share with you a couple of projects I made recently for my DT work for WOW Chipboard.  I have a set of cards to show you and an OTP project with a short photo tutorial.

First up I am going to show you some cards using a few of those gorgeous products.

I wanted to alter my chipboard to give it a grungy look but still wanted my cards to look girly if that makes sense?  I started by painting my chipboard with gesso, once dry I gave it a coat of rock candy crackle paint.  While the Triangle panel was still wet on the middle card I added a few sprinkles of rust powder.  I then finished off the chipboard by adding Glossy Accents to it.  The Mini Cogs have been left raw :)

"Birthday Cards"

For my first card I have used the Small Triangle Panel - WOW2425, Birthday Pack - WOW2381, Mini Cog Pack - WOW1568.

On the second card I have used a Flourish Frame - WOW247,  Circle Frame - WOW1252 and have again used the Mini Cogs - WOW1568.

On my last card I have used the Decorative Circle - WOW1577 and once more the Mini Cogs - WOW1568.

My second project to show you is WOW's Heart Shadow Box's which I have altered and I thought I would share with you how I did this.

"Angel Heart Shadow Box"

Once I had put the shadow box together I used some Tim Holtz tissue paper roll to do my first layer.  I shredded the paper, scrunched it up and then opened it back up.

I completely covered the whole heart as you can see below and adhered the tissue paper to the heart using Studio Multi Medium.

 Next up I used AltaMATZ diamond shape stencil from 12X12-4-in-1-design-2 ALTA254 and some texture paste and randomly applied this over the shadow box.

This is the fun bit - decorating the box.  First, I sprayed the box with a couple of Mists, Pink from Kaiser and a Gold from Heidi Swapps Color Shine Range.

Once the mists were dry I then grabbed some Inka Gold in pink and Gold randomly applied this around the edges and raised sections.

The other WOW pieces I used are Doily #6 Heart - WOW950, Messy Hearts - WOW2230 Angel Pack - WOW2382 and Kristin Flourish - WOW2073 and I altered these by using my finger and rubbing on the Inka Gold paints randomly on the pieces until they were completely covered.

I finished off my Heart Shadow Box by embellishing it with lots of pretty blooms and lastly with a sponge, sponged gesso over sections of the box and flowers.

Here's a couple of close ups.

Well that's all from me today.

Until next time, thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting.
