Decorated Paper Mache Box and Shabby Chic Flowers

Hi everyone!  Happy Saturday!  I wanted to share this paper mache box that I altered and these shabby chic lacey flowers that I made.  This whole ensemble was for a swap in a facebook group.  I had so much fun with this.  I have videos if you'd like to watch them (posted below the photos), but here are some photos. Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Heart Pillow as a Wedding Gift

Hi everyone!  Thanks for visiting me today!  I wanted to share a new heart pillow I made as a gift for some friends who just got married.  :)  The heart is made from 100% wool felt and it's covered with lace (under all the flowers).  This measures about 10 inches tall not including the lace border.  The lace border adds another 5-6 inches in diameter.  All of the flowers are handmade from costume satin.  The white one on the bottom near the point, is a rolled rose.  The rest of them are made from individual petals that I stitched together.  I added lots of pearls and matching blue beads.  I also added some shooting pearls.  I love, love, love making these hearts!  I hope this inspires you to make some yourself!  Hugs!  Rachel

Heart Pillow

Now that my swap partner, Suziecrafter10, has received her heart, I can share the heart that I made for her here!  This was the first heart pillow I've ever made, and I had so much fun making this for her.  I am in Suzie's Facebook group called Suzie's Design Studio 2012.
 What you see is a heavy wool felt as the base of the heart with a very wide 5" lace all the way around.  All of the flowers are handmade.  The fabric ones are made from costume fabric and the paper ones are both watercolor paper and stampin up cardstock. 
The pearls are individual pearls that I strung together and then sewed onto the heart.  There is also strung pearls (that I bought like that) sewed on as well.



Thank you for stopping by!  I will have a video up tomorrow on this heart as well as the heart I received from Suzie!  Hugs!!!

Vintage Tag

 This is a 4x8" vintage tag I made for a swap with Suziecrafter10 on You Tube.  She also has a blog.  This tag was made with 4 layers of Recollections Craft Cardstock, glued together with a wet glue.  The patterned paper is from K & Company, as are the acetate butterflies.  All of the flowers I made and colored, except for the tiniest flowers, which are Prima.  The laces and seam binding I colored using Tim Holtz Distress Ink pads. A link to my You Tube video on this tag is located at the bottom of this post.
