Favourite colours at Marianne`s Design Divas

Hi Peeps!

I`ve been a bit absent from the Divas for a couple of months and it`s good to be back. We have had a little change in our team as well. Our sweet Susie has left us. She will be greatly missed. We have also a new team member... Donna!!! From Bearly Mine Designs. She has created a real stunner as her first project. So hop on over to Marianne`s Design Divas and check our her and all the other creations.

This months sponsors are:

Bunny Zoe`s Crafts


With this brilliant prize for the winner.

 And as usual our lovely Marianne is sponsoring a surprise prize for a second winner.

For my creation today i`ve decorated another one of the drawers in my little shelf. The first drawer you can find here. My fav colours at the moment is White, Blue and beige. Important ingredients for a vintage style, lol....at least in my book, hahaha.

I started with sanding the drawer to make the paint stick better. I coated it with 3 different crackle paints to give it a shabby look. Next i inked the edges.

I had this beautiful butterfly in my stash and i put on this gorgeous Prima vintage button. I also put on this knob in the same colour as the butterfly. I bought these knobs at Klas Ohlson which is a guy`s shop with all sorts of bits and bobs. Looove to hang out there, lol. When i grew up my mom often told me that i should have been a boy course i allways had some weird stuff like screws and gaskets in my pockets, and i allways thought it was more fun playing football (european style) with the boys rather than playing with dolls with the girls, hahaha.

The big blue flowers is from Petaloo and these other silk flowers is Marianne Design as well as all the dies and the gorgeous lace i have used. I will list up and give you links at the bottom of this post.

I also used a rub on at the bottom of the drawer. It doesn`t show too well as i covered it a bit too much with all the embellies, lol.

I just love these little angels. I got a whole bunch of them cheap from Nille a while back. They are perfectly sized for cardmaking and small surfaces.

3D at WhoopsiDaisy

Hey my sweet friendz!

Today we are doing 3D creations at WhoopsiDaisy. A while back i bought this mini-shelf thingy, (don`t know what to call it,lol) at IKEA. It has just been standing there at my craft table looking all boring. So i decided to finally start doing something with it.

Here is how it looked before i started.

I have only done the first drawer, starting on the left. Please bare with me as i have only a few images...not, lol.

I first started sanding the drawer so the paint would stick more. Then i put on some areas with Distress  crackle paint. I have used Picket fence, Antique linen and Weathered wood. I also used Distress ink, Vintage photo. When everything had dried i had to embellish it. Here i have a small rosetrim from Marianne Design, some punched put flowers, a metal corner, a rub-on and i decoupaged a small piece of teared paper behind the image. Lastly i put on this gorgeous handle and the sweet image. The image is available on Linnie`s new CD at Joanna Sheen, right here. 

The colours i have used are these:

Skin:

Vanilla, Saffron, Oatmeal, Tan and Sunkissed pink for the cheeks

Hair:

Walnut, Terracotta, Spice, Honeycomb

Clothes:

Petrol blue, Denim blue, Fresh meadow Cool grey #1,2,3,4 and 5, Black

This is a rub on i won at a challenge i entered a while back and i think it looks gorgeous. You can also see the crackle paint showing real well. 

This handle i found at Claes Olsson. Oh and i made sure to buy one for all the drawers, lol.

I hope this was a bit inspiring for you all. Hope to see you over at WhoopsiDaisy Challenges. It is so much fun to do something else than cards, so don`t let the chance get away.
