Frame Makeover!

Happiiie Friday To All My Friends!

We are heading towards a weekend...and for a change I am planning to explore some adventure in this weekend....by leaving the kids at home with Mumma and going on trecks with my better half....slightly excited :)

Before leaving I will make a quick post of an upcycled frame. This frame is almost 8 years old and m slightly got bored with its look...then thought of doing a makeover :) and here is the final outcome :... This is two sided frame.... so I tried it with a vertical twist.... flower embellishment is in fabric...also used different pp and pearls to make it more lively!



Now here comes the other side of the frame....the flower embellieshment was actually a part of broken hairband of my lil one... and I loved it soo much that I wanted to use it any of my project...so here it is....



Again top it with different PP, pearls and an affile tower die cut...




 and the other side can be used horizontally also...like this :) So both of my cutieee pies are happy as they both have dedicated wall on this frame!


 and I started from here....


Hope you will like it :)
Hugs!

Wake Your Dreams!

Hi again!!

This is my second post for today....yay!! I was working on a LO for my lil princess and was way ahead excited to complete the same....no doubt this is something close to my heart as I tried to capture her dream through my LO!! I hope she will remember this time whenever she go through my layouts :)

This LO is inspired from Zeus and Zoe Mood Board and Scrap Around The World! ... i loved the color palette which they have offered to work on...it was as fresh as the smiles of my lil ones!


I worked on creating a layered BG with the help of acrylics, gesso, tissue paper and misters. these shades surely inspired me to create something for my daughter...so here's a first look...


BG is created with distressing...acrylics..gesso...you can find the layring done with the help of tissue papers. One tag is created with the stamping and blending tool technique...the other is with water effect of distress inks. Don't missout those wodden chipboards of Ballerina duly quoted with Gesso and mister technique.
These colors are as fresh as my lil one....so no second choices on the pic...it has to be her ballerina posture :) which she is learning from quite some time now....and walks like a princess wheenever she does that :) For her It was her dream to learn this...So I have choosen a saying....Wake Your Dreams!
This large fairy chipborad is one of my fav. and I alwways wanted to use it in some special project ;) this chipboard is again colored with distress inks and gesso.

At the corners of the pic you can find the gesso and acrylic effect. Some more shots...




Don't miss out the Ballerinas...


And a complete look...
