Lilacs~Roses~Shabby Flowers ~ Oh My

I have had a very productive day in the creative room...

it has been raining cats and dogs all day!

 

 

Been working on a couple different projects ....

one is for the challenge at The Shabby Tea Room "Shabby Spring"

using the inspiration photo above, and the other is at

Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge Blog "anything goes"

today I have a sweet little altered box to share....

I bought this  balsa wood box at Michael's last year from the $1 bin...

 

 

I painted it a blue color, and had hoped to either distress it white or crackle it....

but that pesky "other person" that lives in my house and puts things where I

can't find them, must of been at it again, as I could find neither...sigh...

 

I sanded it a bit, still thought it needed more,.

so I grabbed some white lightning and painted it on ....

but it didn't do what I wanted either, so I streaked on some watered down white paint...

now it's looking a bit more what I had in mind!

I adhered a Cheery Lynn Designs tiny Italian Flourish doily
 

 

but I pretty much covered it up with my flowers......

other products used from Cheery Lynn Designs are:

Tiny things With Wings

Cutie Fringe 4 (for the lilacs and the fringe flower)

Flourish Leaf Strip

Build A Flower Embellishments #2

Build A Flower #2
 

 

I love how my little hummingbird "flutters" above the flowers!!

I used 2 different colors of Tattered Angels Sprays on the pink flower

that's it for today...hope you enjoyed it!
