I am posting today as a guest designer for Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party hosted by Tara of Craftin Desert Divas! Every other Monday will mark the beginning of a new semi-weekly linky party and you could win fabulous prizes!!
This linky party theme is Linky Party #4 Color Challenge. The sponsor is Pinque Peacock. The more you link up, the better chance you have to win. Visit Craftin Desert Divas for all the rules and to play along.
Here is what I created for this linky party....
For my guest design spot I chose to make a beautiful wooden frame. I am starting to move more and more out of my comfort zone and work on other things. I am more comfortable these days with other projects.
This project was pretty easy to do and I feel the results are quite beautiful. I used a wooden frame and painted it with Craft Smart "Robins Egg Blue". I had to apply several coats. (I am not sure I am really sold on this brand of paint). Once the paint dried I added the three flowers. Two in the top right hand corner and one in the bottom left. I liked the the look but I thought it needed something more, so I decided I was going to add some string pearls around the outside of the frame opening. They ended up a wee bit crooked, but I still like the look of it. I finished off the looks of the frame with a stamped sentiment. I used my black Staz On ink for this process to ensure the sentiment would not run on the painted surface.
I hope you enjoy my project for today. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Kimberly, this is beautiful! I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI use gesso as a primer base before I paint stuff, that way I don't use up all of my acrylic paint trying to cover up chipboard or wood.
Love the flowers!
