Something a Little different...

Hi all, today I have something a little different (for me!), and something that was inspired by a number of challenges this week.

I have made some home decor, my first piece, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

The challenges that inspired me are as follows, along with their pictorial inspiration:

Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger;



For Your Inspiration:



If The Shoe Fits:




Waltzingmouse sketch challenge:


And Crafty Emma's Challenge, which has a theme of recycling.

And here's my take:



I have made a decorated frame for my daughter's best friend, she will be twelve tomorrow, and girls this age definitely do not do pink!

So I made this for her room, which has a teal theme.




I have based it on the Sketch at Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, a bit more loosely than my previous entry - I hope that's ok :-)

I have stamped and silver embossed 3 doilies from WMS, cut out (must get those co-ordinating Spellbinders!) and layered together. Then layered this onto a lovely piece of DP by Wild Rose Studios (4x6 with mount). Topped the doilies of with a very sparkly crystal.



Using a combination of flowers, crystals, beads from a broken bracelet (Recycled !) and some buttons, adhered to the bottom half with a couple of leafy sprigs cut using a Stampin' Up punch and Echo park papers.



Using WMS Victorian Alphabet and Bitty Banners, created a little bunting to string across the top. My original idea was to string this inside the frame, but it was too small - next time I will buy a bigger frame!


Added some ruffled seam binding down one side from The Ribbon Reel, and a little bird cut using the same Stampin' Up punch. Finally added some stickles to the floral arrangement for some girly glimmer!
