Megs Garden DT Share

Hello Megs Garden Fans,I'm back with you again today to
share a cute little gift box.
I'm enjoying created with the wonderful Megs Garden products, they truly are beautiful.

"Gift Box"


I started with the Dreaming in Lavenders paper from the Dreaming in Meadows collection and covered the bottom half of the box in the solid section of the paper, Then cutting out a border piece from the flowers and leaves.


I added a Draw pull handle to the top of the box.




 I covered just the top of the box lid in paper, and added some lace and trim to hide any edge bits that may be showing.


I glued the paper to the bottom of the box then added foam dots to the border piece to give it more dimension, I also added a few random leave cut from the paper into the border.


 & a Lion head knocker to the side.


Topping the top with flowers and a butterfly then applied a small amount of purple ink to the lace & Gesso here and there all over.

A touch of Pink with Green Tara

"Canvas of Love"


This month I thought I would create something pink for Breast cancer awareness. This is another 8x8" canvas. I covered the canvas in chipboard pieces then the entire canvas was covered in gesso and sprayed with Lindys Stamp Gang sprays and Chalk board sprays. Gelatos were used around the edges of the canvas to give darker colour tones to the edges.


Green Tara Apple blossoms in pink along with a cherry blossom and white rose that I have coloured Green, these beautiful flowers have been teamed up with a corner chipboard from Memory Maze.


Cherry blossoms and another coloured rose with a dusty pink diamante silk flower, Memory Maze chicken wire, rectangle frame, bird cage and bird on a wire.


More Green Tara flowers tucked in here and there. Memory Maze underscore chipboard.


More Green Tara blooms.

Fabscraps Angels

"Sweet Angel Canvas"


An 8x8" canvas using the Fabscrap Christmas range.







Directions

Canvas

- Start by painted the entire canvas with gesso this will give the paper something stronger to stick to.
- Next cut the 2 little angels out of the corner of paper C61 004.
- Cut a piece a little smaller than the canvas from paper Festive bells C61 004 and adhering it to the front of the canvas.

Center swirls

- Next cut a piece larger than the canvas enough that it will cover all 4 sides as well as the front of the canvas out of Special Times C61 003
- Fold the square into halves but so it looks like a triangle, then fold it the opposite way where the creases join this is your center.
- Starting at the center cut along the 4 folds but don't go all the way to the edge leaving approx 2' border around the paper.
- then you should have 4 cut outs in the center, cut each of these 4 pieces into 5 strips leaving each one with a point in the middle going larger as you head out to the outside of the paper.
- distress and ink all our your now cut edges
- Roll each of the strips over a pencil folding outwards to help with the curling process.

Covering the canvas

- Now attach the paper to the canvas covering the front and side
- I have also added small amounts of texture paste to the edges and sides of the canvas then coloured it with gelatos in pink, green, silver and brown.
- Using a quick drying glue stick down each of the swirls to the border around the canvas.

- Ink and stick down the 2 little angels 

- Taking the chipboard chandelier from DC60 015 I have covered in gesso then used gelatos and water to colour it.

- add flowers and embellishments to finish of your canvas.
