So Magical...a Layout by Patricia Basson.

Hello to all of you...

It is once again my pleasure to share with you all a project created with delightful findings from the Zeus and Zoe Etsy shop. I would love to share with you a soft and elegant looking page done with some of the items from my DT stash! My starting point was the purple vintage card in the background, without giving my age away...who can still remember those embossed cards from our youth? I opened it up to create a background for my photo. I cut the bottom of the the left side cup and placed it at the bottom left corner as a holder for my Manor House Creation flowers.

I saw a most amazing project on Pinterest with rolled book pages and that inspired me to create this rolled effect.

This is a page that one will have to take and twist and turn to get the full effect of the embellishment...

I did a bit of stencilling with some Mica from Lindy's Stampgang in Oak Leaf Olive mixed with Acrylic Gloss and rubbed a little on my flowers as well. Added a vintage button and stick pin from the Esy Shop. I also used the packaging from Webster to die cut and as strips on the page.

The purple flower form Webster Pages Floral Bouquet went well with the ribbon trim. Some more buttons and stick pins used here as well...

Thank you for reading my post today...Please visit Marivic's Etsy Shop for any of the items that I have used on this page...Till next time

~Altered Candlestick~

Good Morning friends...

Patricia again with my second project for August. Our theme this month is Altered Vintage, and what could be more vintage than these enamel candlesticks from days gone by? I would love to say this one is a real antique...but it was just bought at a general store...Let's see if I can encourage you to buy one and alter it somewhat as well?

I prepared the candlestick by painting it with Gesso to prime it. I then painted several coats of Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze onto it. I used the colours Sangria and Nori. From my DT stash I used the brown lace, stick pins, some buttons and flowers.

All the buttons were Gesso'd, misted with green, blue and a reddish spray and because they were looking quite dull, I decided to add some dimensional accent which then resulted in some pretty marbling effects!

  

This is an embellishment from Ruby Violet, given the same treatment as the buttons.

The stick pins and Butterflies are from my DT pack. They were embossed with  two toned embossing powders from Lindy's Stampgang, Hyacinth Blue Green and Gilded Burgundy Brass...The white Wire Flower and Peacock feather are from Webster's Pages Floral Bouquet. All of the stock is available from the Zeus And Zoe Etsy shop...

Thank you for having a visit with me today...Keep save till we chat again next month...
