I wanted to create something a little vintage, a little shabby for a gift of goodies that I need to send off (I promised someone the resin lilies) and what a better canvas than the May's OTP project from our Your Passion Your Art Kits and the G45 Staples Collection Book Box ( less the book - that I will get too!)
This is how I got the distress look - simple white paint that I layered on and then covered with kroma and heat set .... Umm not enough crackle so I took the Ranger rock candy distress and applied a heavy layer and heat set ... well it bubbled ... so I decided to remove the bubbles and a layer of paint was coming off giving me the distress effect below ... and I loved it! The perfect look.
The lilies, flowers and frame are handmade resin pieces and covered with silks iridescent gold on the flowers and green on the leaves (sorry the pictures will not show the beauty of those - but they are a must !)
The little angel is from Pion collection From My Heart II - Cut out sheet and all of the lace is Flying Unicorn's. Vintage beads and pearls finished it off .
Anna Griffin's AG 1674 paper is used inside - its flocked completing that vintage shabby look.
