Let's Get Shabby

 ** Woohoo!!  I'm so chuffed!!! My first attempt at the 'shabby' look and I have been lucky enough to get an HONORABLE MENTION thankyou Mandy and the 'Let's get Shabby' Design Team :) **

 *******************************************

I promised myself  if I got all my upcoming  Design Team submissions completed, and if I had some spare time that I would enter a few new scrap challenges. 

I decided to give Mandy Dodd's 'Let's Get Shabby' a go :) This is the first time I have entered 'Let's get Shabby', so ladies go easy on me with the comments please....I would like to come back one day (Smiles). Now you would all know that shabby/distressed is a style that I steer away from and its mainly because I'm just not confident with things like placement of clustered flowers and how much distressing looks good on a page, too little embellies/too much embellies.....(maybe I was just overthinking the whole process). Atleast now I can cross off doing 'Shabby' from my bucket list... lol

This month is all about.......

WINDOW AND/OR DOORS

Beach Bird 

An unimpressed bird on a Fijian beach on a windy day! lol

My shuttered window is made from cardboard and then gessoed (is that a word!) and finished with crackle paint........What a great view hey!!

The 'b.e.a.c.h' chipboard title is painted blue then covered in a thick layer of dimensional magic. Whilst it is still wet, you swirl over it with a pin that has been dipped in white paint.

I added water bubble glass cabochons to the centre of the flowers. The cabochons were created by adding some drops of dimensional magic and 'All that Jazz' Glimmer Glaze to the underside of the cabochen.

Here is a close up!

And another close up of my embellie cluster!
