WOW Chipboard DT project - Altered Ornate Shadow Box Photo Tutorial

Hello there!

Today I wanted to share with you a quick and easy photo tutorial for the Ornate Shadow Box I recently altered as part of my DT work for WOW Chipboard.

First up once I had assembled my Ornate Shadow box M15, I mixed a little bit of one of my Dylusions sprays (aqua based) with some Gesso.  With a large sponge I applied it to my shadow box quite thick, when it was almost dry I gave it another coat.  As you can see it gave it great texture.

I then used some Ken Oliver Color Bursts to give my shadow box some colour.  I just love this product, so much fun and looks awesome.  I chose purple for this project.  I sprinkled the Color Burst randomly over the shadow box and then spritzed it with water until I was happy with the colour......How is is that??

I finished off my shadow box with some New release chipboard, Dangles and one of the quotes from the Fun-Multi Word Pack WOW2457 which I sprayed with Dylusions sprays and lastly added lots of yummy blooms.

Here's a couple of close ups.

Well that's all from me today.  Don't forget we still have our monthly challenge going over on the WOW Creations Facebook Page.  I do hope you have some time to play along this month.

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

Off the Rails January Altered Photo Frame Tutorial

Hi there!

As I mentioned last week in my DT reveal post this is the short tutorial on how I altered my picture frame to suit the Mood Board.

"Summer At The Beach"

I started off with a wooden frame.

I first added Gesso using a large sponge so I was able to get some texture.

Next up I used some Ken Oliver Color Bursts to add my colour to the frame, these are great and so much fun to play with.

Once I had sprinkled the colours where I wanted it was time for the fun part.  With a water spray bottle I just spritzed over the colours and watched the magic happen and the colours come to life.... 

Once dry I then embellished my frame in similar tones that I have used on the frame.

Lastly I mounted my photo and added a title.

Well that's all from me today.   Come and join us at Off the Rails and enter this months challenge, with the gorgeous mood board to inspire you all.  Good luck everyone, I can't wait to see all of your fabulous entries.

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