Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.
This time I have done a home decor item! I got this heavy chipboard key from a local box store, and I thought it would be perfect to alter with lots of amazing items from the WRC Store.
The first step is to paint the sides and any areas that will show with some paint. I used a multi surface paint for this and it did the trick nicely. I also took the key and traced around it on some of the gorgeous Lemoncraft Yesterday paper. Once the paint was dry, I used Mod Podge to stick down the paper.
While the key was drying, it was time to get out my embellishments and alter them to go on the key.
I used some fun chipboard pieces from the WRC store, and also the metal heart and flower are from the shop also. I added some of the same paint I used on the key to the pieces and then added a touch of pink paint as well to pick up on the colours in the paper.
Once everything was dry, it was time to layer on my pieces. I got out some Recollections flowers and used one of the Melissa Frances resin keys in the middle of the chipboard heart with wings.
You can also see some of the Altair Art butterflies and one of the pieces from the Dress It up Button Set in the photo.
On the end of the key, I added some more flowers and the metal flower, along with a bit of the chicken wire chipboard, and a little butterfly to finish it off.
Of course everything got a lovely coat of Dovecraft glitter glue in Crystal, it makes everything sparkle! The final touch was some of the Distress Oxide Spray in Picked Raspberry to make the pink stand out on the paper and flowers, it added just the right mixed media touch.
It turned out so pretty, I am going to hang it up in my bedroom!
I hope you have enjoyed my project today and have found some inspiration here.
Thanks for stopping by!
