Funky Fossil MDF Shabby Chic looking House and Stag Tag


I've been playing with some Funky Fossil MDF shapes to create this house shaped hanging decoration/tag.

I had the remains of an old paint tester pot in pale blue, so I painted the "Funky Fossil MDF Hanging Decoration" and left it to dry.

While the house shape was drying, I coated the "Funky Fossil MDF Stag shape" with PVA glue (applied with a finger), then sprinkled Cosmic Shimmer "Golden Sand" glitter over it and left it to dry.

Returning to the now dry pale blue MDF house shape, I placed a "Funky Fossil Snow Flurry Stencil" over the shape and brushed a white acrylic paint over the stencil, which left a snowflake background detail.  I set aside the piece to dry.

Once dry, I decided the blue paint looked too perfect, so I used a brown coloured Arteza Brush Pen to add a more distressed look to the edges of the house shape. 

At this stage, I decided I wanted the heart shape to look warmer, so I adhered a piece of pinky/coral coloured paper to the back of the house shape.

I then added some Lavinia Stamps "Holographic Moon Dust" over some dots of PVA glue.  While the PVA was out, I adhered the glittered stag shape on to the house too.

A Card For Mum in a shabby chic style

It's my Mother-in-laws birthday at the weekend & I've been putting off making a card for her, as I am never quite certain that she likes them or appreciates the work I put into one.  However, I couldn't bring myself to buy a card, so made this for her.

It is a very fussy style with a little nod to the shabby chic style of Cath Kidston.

Being There For Me - Shabby Chic Style Card

Today I have played with the Shabby Chic style on a card. 


I started be giving an aged edge, using Panpastels to the blank card, a doily and a stamped Stampin' Up sentiment (Happy Happenings stamp set) I had die cut.



I then raided my box of flowers, I ended up using Prima blooms. I then die cut an assortment of foliage.


I raised the central flower by using a button to elevate it slightly.
