For those who know me true…inspired by the beautiful Abbey in the Paper Whimsy shop! There are so many options with this Abbey,so many places to fill…but today I decided to use the center area as one large opening.The abbey comes with shelves but I decided to remove the shelves and keep the center cavity open.
Glue the back piece and sides…
add a layer of gesso and then paint desired color to all the components.Next, glue paper ,and a fancy cog for a crown,and other flat pieces of wood to glue your image on to…
Add your image and fiber findings on the bottom.Then glue a piece of transparency to the inside part of the front panel.
Glue the front panel on to base and embellish the with liquid dots. Add ink to a small butterfly as well as dots using a punchinella stencil…
cut out some pretty roses from sheet Botanique 5.
Highlight the entire piece with Inka Gold and white paint.
Now because I have a problem with throwing away perfectly good pieces of wood,like the shelves that were supposed to go inside the assemblage…I decided to make some pendants with them.They reminded me of mini wood fence boards…
and if you leave me a comment on this post,I will giveaway two of the three pendants I created…I kept the third one for myself heehee.
~WINNERS!~
I am so overwhelmed with all the beautiful comments and kind words.Thank you all for taking the time. The two winners of the Board Pendants are…
