Loads of Love

 Hi there, Creatives!

My fingers have been itching to make a mini-album / journal cover with these 6 x 6 inch Burlap Art Boards and to decorate the front page with the gorgeous Little Birdie flowers.

So here we go!

“Loads of Love” 

Loads of Love

For this project I used the following Little Birdie supplies, including two 6"x6" Burlap Art Boards:

·              Boutique Elements – Renae Celeste flowers

·              Vintaj Micro Jeweled Florettes – Rustic Teal

·              “Script” Stencil

·              Mixed Media Paste 

·              Cheese cloth

·              Sisal Fibers

·              Primed Chipboard – Loads of Love

·              Primed Chipboard – Frame

·              Crystal 

·              Acrylic Soft Gel

·              Tinted Metallic Paint – Golden Glaze

Wonderful Little Birdie supplies!

Step 1

I colored the white mixed media paste with Olive Green ink and stencil through the “Script” stencil. 

Tip:

Remember to wash your stencils immediately to get rid of the left over paste.

Step 1

Step 2

I painted the primed chipboard words and frame with the Tinted Metallic Paint and left it to dry.

Step 3

I added a few glass beads to  crystal pins and glued it together with clear 3D gloss.

Step 4

A wide organza ribbon was tied around the one Burlap Art Board and secured with double sided tape on the back. Before I tied a bow on the front, I layered a piece of cheesecloth and sisal fibers to create more interest. I used Little Birdie’s Soft Acrylic Gel to adhere it to the burlap background.

Step 4

Step 5

The flowers were placed around the frame and words and extra rhinestones and Crystal Drops were added. Again I used the Acrylic Soft Gel as adhesive. I also found some Gueney fowl feathers that made their way onto the cover.

Step 6

To finish off the project, I added a metal key and hearts, as well as some tassels I made with tassel clamps and embroidery floss.
