Lets Get Shabby Challenge # 47


The new challenge is up at Lets Get Shabby. Choose a piece of china and create a page, card or otp. project that has been inspired by your chosen cup, saucer, plate, vase etc. Head on over to the Lets Get Shabby blog HERE to get all the details on how to play along.

It's pretty obvious how the above image has inspired me. I've used an olive green and pink colour scheme, used doilies, birds and bird cage images. The birds and cages suggest a theme of "freedom", or lack of it, so have included a beautiful quote from Nelson Mandela. 

This page started out as a piece of grey chipboard.It's then been gessoed, painted, papered, gessoed again, painted again, stamped, inked, masked, embossed and sprayed. Finally the images were added, the resin embellishments and doilies and finally ( as is my way) lots of cut out flowers.




Thank you for visiting today. I love and appreciate hearing from you. ( unless you are one of those creepy anonymous people ) and may you find some "free time"in what's left of this week to pursue what ever makes you happy.

    I can SEE all the work that has gone into creating this page Gayle!! it is truly fantastic and not only because I'm a total dork for flowers but because it is a stunning page. Love all the birdcages, love the subtle details that you so excel at creating, pulling everything together like the master you are. Thank you so much for all the beauty you create and share with the rest of us! xoxoxo
