WELCOME TO 2015

Hi, I hope 2015 has started out as you wanted, the weather
over Christmas and new year has been amazing hasn't it!
 
I made this little pixie house when I was on leave, using a 3D ,MDF box house
From Imagine If , see there other fantastic MDF products
 

 
I covered it on the out side with paper .
 

And painted the inside

Covered the floor with a wood look paper

For the windows I cut a over lay to size and glued it to the window


Next I used a cake board  for the base
 
This strip of chipboard fence , I trimmed it down and painted it
to use as a ladder

I traced where the house will sit as I wanted it smothe

Using course texture paste I covered the rest, to give
a rough look

I run the ladder/fence through the cuttle bug

Once the texture paste had dried ,I painted it with gesso




I didn't have the right green so mixed two together to give a
uneven color green 

I found a strong twig to use as my tree


I drilled a hole for it to fit into

Put it all together, I added a inside light and some fairy lights to the tree

Below is the night time photos
 
 
It looks pretty cool at night, makes a good night light :)
 
Thanks for taking the time to visit and check out Imagine Ifs very
cool products. Stay tuned in as Jo has a few very cool new things
coming up this year.......... My lips are sealed hehehehe

I always get so excited to get started, that I often forget to take a before photo or a in progress shoot,
 
 
 
I really needed something close to where I always site to remind me of important things
that I needed to remember , like hair appointments birthdays etc. so this was perfect.

 
I covered the out side of the box with paper, then painted the inside cream and also the top (photo frame)
I then in bossed the inside using a  stamp..

 
The top I used crackle medium then painted black over that to get the old paint look,i in bossed one end and decorated
with flowers arrows and a wee angel . Hope iv inspired some one just a little today :)
Thanks for checking out my photo box .

A Card For A Friend ...... Imagin If DT project

 

Check out this cool little BOOT

I have used it on a card here

but it lends its self to many other things

 

I used some left over papers and other little bits and pieces

 
 
 
 


The verse is from Imagine If Quotes and Proverbs sheet

 
I would also like to share a box I made for my sister
these are a packet of cats I got from Imagine If.
you can find them here at Fix Design which is
part of Imagine If I had them cut in chipboard I 
really love the fact that they are all different, which
worked perfectly on my box.
 
 
I panted them black  to look like silhouettes,  

 
Then added them to the box I had just finished, Take note
of how the cats look, some are back on some
are side on, I just LOVE these .


 
Here is the box front on , my sister hand painted the china cat
and I attached him to the top of my box.

 

Thanks for visiting my blog. If at any time you would

like to know how I achieved a look, please just ask and I can

email instructions

Have a lovely crafty day :)
