Bracelets

I decided to start making my own bracelets as well as my own earrings. It's perfect to choose the colour, theme and size. Having a pretty tiny wrist, I always struggle to find a bracelet that fits me. Well that's no longer a problem. 

Flower holder

   Painted a white coat of basic paint so that the wood does not soak in the Distress Crackle Paint.

Finished product :

I painted the outsides in pink and the borders in brown. It cracked well but there was no a thick enough layer of it so it was awkward to stamp on. 

Used the Tim Holtz stamps and the clock embellishment..

Chest

 I bought this chest to store photographs and I decided to vintage it up with a few coats of plain white paint, then I painted it over with Pearl White from Daler Rowney. It needed 3 coats of pearl white paint to look shiny. Then I had to scratch off the paint that had gone on the metal joints and lock.

Paint done!       

Now we need to fix the Tim Holtz feet.
