Today we begin a brand new challenge at Fussy and Fancy! Our hostess for the next two weeks is our wonderful Annie who has chosen "Things with Wings" as her theme!! Our sponsor is Sweet Lilac Flowers!
I've been wanting to do this wooden chest that I have had for a while so I thought "Let's go a little Springy and add flowers and butterflies!" Well this didn't turn out exactly as I had in mind...when I went to get products that I was positive that I had I just couldn't find them...time to sort out the craft room so that I know where everything is!!
Here is what I came up with...
please click on the first image for a closer view/slideshow...
now this was very hard to photograph because of the size...
I couldn't fit it in the area that I usually take my pics in and the lighting where I finally took the pictures wasn't that great...

the unadorned chest...
I started by inking it up with "Pumice Stone" Distress Ink...
added some texture paste and Shabby Taupe Frantage...
then I sponged on some alcohol inks and topped with a pearlizer...
another angle...
the top...
in this arrangement added flowers to some moss and natural fibers...
next came a butterfly..
a tag made using alcohol inks...
I added shabby seam binding, pearls strand and a butterfly...
the other side...
closer...
bottom corner...
And that is my chest finished!! I think that I'll use it to store some of my lace! Now I know that my talented Fussy and Fancy Sisters would love for you to pay them a visit!
All materials are listed above.
Until next time...thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Your visits and comments are SO very much appreciated!!!
