My RockStar!!

 

Today I am sharing a project that I made for Genuinely Jane Studios!!  I created this project with a film container that a friend gave me and the  camera mini album! 

 

I used a picture that I took before my kids dance production last year!  He was so excited to wear the suit jacket and suspenders (not so much the bow tie)!   

Inside the container I have a piece of distressed cardboard, pattern paper, chipboard swirls, an altered frame, canvas stars, a little guitar, stickers and washi tape.  I used black gesso and a prima brick mask for the background.

 

To make the camera I covered it with black glitter, than I misted it and sprinkled alcohol inks!  I covered a piece of white cardstock with washi tape for the hole in the camera.  Added the title with glitter alphas and a few stickers!

 

Thanks for looking!

I just got back from a week long vacation, where I had no internet!  I am still trying to catch up on the time change and the laundry!  So I am sharing my post from Genuinly Jane Studios, Ihope you enjoy!

 

When you walk into my house, you see an empty wall.  I struggled with that wall.  After five years of living in my house I finally picked the perfect color for it, so now I have a perfectly painted empty wall.  I knew that one day I would find the perfect something to hang on my wall….when I saw the banner mini album, I knew I had found my something!
I covered the banners with paper, vellum, modeling paste, doilies, paint, handmade flowers, chipboard, lace, beads, stamps and glimmer mist.  Mounted the banners on cardboard that I distressed and misted, put that in a painted and inked frame.  Here is the finished product!

I love the way it turned out, it is perfect for my not-so-empty-wall!!
Here are some close ups of each frame!

GJS Reveal!!!

 

Today is the day I posted my first project for Genuinly Jane Studios!!!  You can see the post here...http://www.genuinelyjanestudios.com/blog/some-romance/ :)

 

This is the cover, I used a combination of Graphic45 and 7Gypsies paper (both older lines).  As you can see I did a lot of distressing and inking!  I also used some modeling paste with a stencil and painted some glimmer mist on top of the modeling paste.  I used glimmer mist on the doily and the bird.  I colored the pearl with Liquid Gold in copper.  The flowers I put glue on the tips and added some Pearl ex.

Here are some close ups...

 

The inside I used a lot of the same product and techniques.

I wanted the doors to be able to close so I didn't add as much dimension here.  I cut slits in the black and white paper so you could see the couples.  I also did some stamping.

Here are the close ups...

 

I add so much fun creating this!!  I hope you will check out there products, the wood albums are awesome to work with!!

 

Thanks for looking!

I used a lot of paper and embellishments that were left in my September My Creative Scrapbook!

 

Here is a close up of the flower cluster.  I added some twine and thread under the flowers.

A close up of the background...I used stamps, stencil with modeling paste, and distress stain!
