Two projects by Gerry van Gent

Happy Sunday everyone!
Today I have two projects to share with you.
My first project is an altered item where I used a silhouette photo
of my daughter I "placed" in her dreams.

657900 Sizzix Big Shot Machine

658449 Sizzix ScoreBoards XL Album, Garden Gate

658530 Sizzix Bigz Die Mariposa

658260 Sizzix Bigz Die Christmas Cardinal

657492 Sizzix Bigz Die Tattered Pinecone

657176 Sizzix Sizzlits Dec. Strip Die Typeset Alphabet

657773 Sizzix Framelits Die Set w/Stamps Butterflies #3

657469 Sizzix Bigz Die Holiday Lamppost

I created the fence by die cutting Garden Gate twice from corrugated cardstock

and pattern paper.  I didn`t use the whole gates but part of them.

Then I distressed with ink and decorated with embellishment.

Behind the photo I adhered Mariposa butterfly.

For the tutorial how I created the butterfly with lace please

refer to one of my older blog posts (Father's Day Tag; 9 June, 2013)

Other Products I used:

Prima Marketing pattern papers

Prima Marketing flowers

Prima/Ingvild Bolme embellishments

Prima/Ingvild Bolme Chalk edgers 

Lets Get Beeze MDF wall clock

by using the beautiful Dogwood Flower dies.

The Dogwood flowers were made of pattern paper. 

For the centres I mixed Transparent and Yellow liquid drops.

The leaves were die cut from white crepe paper. After that painted and 

shaped while they were still wet. Then I added transparent liquid drops.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today!

Have a creative day!
