Crafts and Me Challenge # 39 - Bling it on

Hi dear craft and stamping friends out there. Today we have a new challenge over at Crafts and Me Challenges. An easy theme this time...

BLING IT ON

So get your diamonds, gems and glitters out and play. Head over to the challenge blog to see the other awesome DT creations as well.

Mirror, Mirror

Hi Sweet Pea friends out there, and everyone else who is visiting my blog today. I was working on something special the last few weeks. And finally today I can show you. I wanted for once making a bigger project than a card had the idea to decorate one of those simple mirrors available at the big Swedish furniture mart. I saw this a while ago when I visited friends. They have such a mirror in their apartment, with a painting on it. I loved it and knew I have to create something like this as well. So here it is:

I painted the wide wooden frame with acrylic pain, a mix of purple, blue and green.

To decorate the mirror I chose two of the amazing Sweet Pea Stamps  images from the ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection. The first one is Nocturnal Spirit.

And Dryad Bride

Both are on the same plate # 124, but are available as single stamps as well. I coloured them with Distress Inks on heavy watercolour paper and glued them to the frame.

Then I added some more effects to the frame; I punched some stars out and layed them to the frame. I painted some white fabric paint over them, let it dry and surrounded them with stickles for a lovely shine. I added more fabric paint to the images and added some flowers and beads as well. To finish off I glued some cord around the inside of the mirror and as a hanger.

The saying with the lovely celtic border is a cut out from a sheet of paper from the 'once upon a time' stack by DCWV... love it!

Well, I hope you like what I made and perhaps you feel inspired to make your own mirror. If so let me know, I would LOVE to see.

Thank you so much for your visit. Always so much appreciated.

Hugs, Karina
