Vintage Hat Box by Jen Waugh

Hi everyone and welcome to my first post for November. 

We have free play this month so this means we get to make what we want using our Zeus and Zoe products. Marivic sent me a gorgeous hat box with my DT pack. I decided for my first project to alter it a bit. Being a lover of all things vintage, the images and embellishments from my pack were perfect.

I used the beautiful vintage, Love post card from my pack to embellish the side, I added some pearl and paper flowers to make it stand out. The little button is from my own stash and is Prima. I made some ribbon flowers, my first attempt and I was pleased with how they turned out.

. 

The pretty fabric flowers were cream when they arrived in my pack. I wanted to make them blend into the image better, a quick spray with some mist anfd they turned out a pale pink. I added a hat pin that I made myself and a peacock feather. 

I cut up my Dusty Attic and added it to the edges. They were sprayed with some mist first and I used gold Run n Buff to add some interest to small areas.

The doily and vintage brooch were also included in my DT pack. Aren't they beautiful?

I love this vintage image that was included in my pack. 

Thanks for joining me, I hope that you liked my vintage hat box.   Check out the Zeus and Zoe Etsy shop to have a look through all Marivic's products. Would love to see what you create with them :-)

Until next time, Jen xxx

Vintage Shabby Chic Tag

Hello Leticia Here :) I am so Excited to share with you all my Vintage Shabby Tag, I had so much fun creating this tag using Zeus and Zoe goodies :) I really do Hope you all will enjoy it and do not forget to comment, I really do enjoy reading them all! 

For the Base of my tag, I used Heavy Weight Chip Board. I used mod podge to adhere my paper to the chip board, the paper is from Pion Designs ( swing to the clouds PD2502) carried by Zeus and Zoe.  I cut out the little girl in the swing and used a frame from Michaels to frame the image, and also many Beautiful trims from Zeus and Zoe.

At the top of the tag I adhered a vintage piece of trim and on top of that a half of a vintage crochet doilie. I also used a silver metal leaf and a filigree metal flower that I added gesso and a doilie with a silver vintage button in the center. On the side of the frame I added a piece of crochet vintage trim with a vintage bling necklace and added gesso, I love the effect that gesso gives to the metal and paper.

To the bottom of the tag I added cream ribbon and the other half of the crochet doilie, and on top of the doilie a number tag with the number 22 , underneath the doilie is a filigree metal coner . I made a bow with seam bindding and placed a vintage button in the center, again to all the tag I dabbed gesso with a sponge to give it a shabby effect. Hope you have enjoyed visting our blog and Thank you for all your comments and support :)
Hugs, Letty
