Attempt at Shabby Chic..............

Hi, it has not been the best of days for me, nope..........decided to wash the paintwork on all the doors and by mistake I picked up the spray kitchen cleaner which contains strong bleach and squirted my first door........result horrendous streaks........this will teach me to wear my specs........so tomorrow have got to bleach the whole door so it all matches........am not a happy bunny..........

Yesterday I altered this thick wooden Heart which was bought from Wilkinsons in their sale for 25 pence......great bargain and wanted to try the Shabby Chic style with it, not my usual style at all.

First the heart was painted with Gesso then layered some lace and another coat of Gesso.  The flowers were created from Watercolour paper, you guessed it......Gesso applied, Distress Inks and then coated with Viva Croco Crackling White.  Little roses added to the centres.  The words are stamps used from the 'Floriculture Plate' by Rogue Redhead Designs.

Oh blow it, forgot to put the pearls on.  Told you it wasn't my day.............. am entering this into the Unruly Paper Arts Challenge of Faux Flowers.

Think I had better have a lie down in the hope that things will get better.............lol    Thank you for visiting me and take care of yourselves.  Hugs Annette x
