Baby Bassinet finished!

All the glue has dried!

The Baby Bassinet is complete!

 

 After I glued all my 3x3 pieces in place, I white washed it with a mixture of burnt umber and cream and water.  I dabbed and wiped until I liked it.

 Once dry, I took a credit card and swiped gesso over all the surfaces.  Wanted an antique/vintage finish.

 Once dry, I took Vintage photo distress ink pad & rubbed the entire pad over top.  Isn't it luscious looking??!!  I LOVE IT!

 On the inside -after the above steps- I also spritzed some white Dylusions ink and some pink shimmer mist.

 I glued lace in two layers all around the entire box.

 Using Wild Orchid flowers, I missed with the pink shimmer and fixed a long embellishment for the top edges.

 Pink tulle gathered up in five sections, wrapped with some string pearls, pink ribbon & the flower wrapped.

I think she's going to love it. I sure do!

WAW Baby Album Word Art

In a world where everyone is out for themselves,  it is such a comfort to know that God loves me so much and that he already has a plan for me. That he always has my best interest at heart. I can face every day knowing my future is with the Lord!



Our sponsor this week is Eclectic Anthology. She has a lovely assortment of things in her store. 

"Eclectic Anthology specializes in commercial-use vintage graphics, fonts, and Photoshop shapes, actions, and brushes. Eclectic Anthology is a part of Avalon Rose Design, a vintage-inspired design company."


Each week Word Art Wednesday is growing in participants. We thank each one of you for your participation!
Each designer has a big heart that creates beautiful projects.  Cards, altered items, journals, layouts.  They are ALL amazing!  Be sure and check out each blog.  They are listed on my right side bar.

This week I featured the scripture on a baby album I'm working on.  I wanted to include several pages I've designed. Knowing that God already has a plan for the unborn proves that He is all knowing.

 I cut the words/letters and the baby buggy with my cricut.  I faux stitched around each letter with a gel pen.

 My goal was to have lots of places for pictures. My dear friend having the baby boy loves to take pictures.

 I've put sticky notes letting her know what size picture will fit.

 I made this owl using punched circle.  Hand drawed the head & wings. Was so much fun making it!

I mostly do girly projects.  It's been challenging doing a boy album using NO flowers!  I really love how it's turning out.


Thanks for playing with us @ Word Art Wednesday!
