Just One Second Panel

 

Hi there 

I am back today to share another project with you,

 I have used my favourite photo of my parents 

when they were young to create a really simple panel.

I have used made a panel using a wooden panel as my base and chipboard designed by

 Antonis Tzanidakis.

I have covered the wooden panel with scrapbook paper from Stamperia and added 

some texture by stencilling a heavy body paste on top.

I have used aloe of various cogs and gears layered up to build texture on the two hearts from the 

unlock my heart chippy pack. 

Once all the layers are built up I have then painted the chippy with acrylic paints 

in the same colours of my background.

Altered Desk Organiser from Kmart

 

Hello

Today is my turn to share some creative inspiration with you.

I have wanted to alter this little two drawer desk organiser from Kmart 

to keep on my desk and I figured it would be a great DT project for The Dusty Attic.

Finished Project

I bought this little Bamboo desk organiser from Kmart for this project.

To begin with I have painted the bamboo desk Organiser in a coat of primer 

as this will help paints and collaged paper to adhere to the surface.

I have covered the sides and back with Stamperia scrapbooking paper. I have also lined the inside of the two drawers with paper as well as the two front pieces to the top and side shelf,

 for the drawer fronts and exposed edges I painted them in acrylic paint.

I used a mixed media glue from Stamperia to stick down all the papers pieces and painted over the top of them with two more coats of the mixed media glue to seal them. This will keep the papers clean and waterproof later on.

I have stamped on the drawer fronts with a Stazon ink

 to give them a  nice distressed finish

I have painted the chipboard flourishes and houses in acrylic paint before gluing them to the panels with 

 mixed media glue.

Once all my chippy pieces have dried I have painted the entire organiser with Stamperia Antiquing Paste 

wiping off the excess with  baby wipes.

I think the end result was really worth it and I look forward to using my new altered desk organiser!
