Frosted Designs Friday Challenge: String Art!!!

Hello everyone!!!  I know it' been a while since you've heard from me.  Most of you are aware that my mother passed away earlier this year and everything has really been hectic ever since! 

 

Any who, I'm on the blog today with an altered frame I made for my mother's best fried using last month's kit from Frosted Designs.  It features the Heidi Swapp "Wanderlust" collection :-)

 

Here's a look:

 

 

I covered the frame with some of the paper from the kit, then used trim, flowers and embellies from previous month's kit to beautify it ;-)

 

I added some flowers in the bottom left corner as well as a metal clock from Tim Holtz.

 

 

This challenge is "string art" which is to incorporate string in your project.  I used one of the wooden embellishments from the last month's kit, colored it with gold mist and a gelly roll pen, then added small bits of blue twine for detail!

 

 

I misted the color magic title pieces with gold and added them to the frame!

 

 

I finished the frame with some yummy Creative Embellishments chipboard.  The chipboard was misted with white spray, then I used a gold marker to add polka dots!

 

 

 

 

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

 

Altered Tin with Heidi Swapp "Wanderlust" Collection for Frosted Designs!!!!

Hello everyone!!!  Brandi here today with an altered tin I made using this month's fabulous "Spring Gardens Kit"!

Here's a look:

My husband gave me a hot tea tin he had and I knew it would be a perfect project (so did he!!!). I wrapped the tin with the beautiful papers, then started to embellish!

I used the trim from the kit, one of the wooden frames, a quote from last month's kit, and one of the resin butterflies for the front!

Here's a close-up of the butterfly.  I used ink from a previous kit to add a small amount of color!

I used one of the wooden Kaisercraft balloons and several of the flowers for the top!  I also used ink from past kits to add some color to the all white flowers :-)

 As you can see, I wrapped the trim around the entire tin!

 Here's a view from the top!

Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
