The Dusty Attic Blog: Celebrate This

Hello Crafty friends!

I'm so excited to be here for the first time today, to share with you my altered hoop with my photo on it.

In my first project I wanted to introduce my self and for that I didn't only used my own picture but also used some of my favourites stuff: altered hoop with lace fabric - I use this combination a lot but that's the first time I colour it! I dyed it with Lindy's Afternoon Delight Denim Spray as I love Jeans for it's versatility and comfort. After drying I added Finnabair's Vintage gold Metalic Wax and a bit of texture paste through a stencil.

In the main composition I used more lace and fabric, paper elements which I fussy cut from Dear Diary Mintay papers and specially: gorgeous Boho feathers, Ginkgo Biloba folliage , ATC Frame #6, Geo Tribal Motif #2 and Celebrate this from Mini Captions #10.

I coloured the chipboards in different ways: Boho feathers - Lindys Mission Bells Brown Spray, Ginkgo Biloba folliage - Lindy's Cockelbells Coral and Mission Bells Brown Sprays, ATC Frame #6 - Lindy's Twilight Jade Slate Embossing powder and Finnabair's Vintage gold Metalic Wax, Geo Tribal Motif #2 - Lindy's Ghouly Goblin Green EP and Celebrate this - Lindy's Bling Y Blond Spray and Finnabair's Vintage gold Metalic Wax.

After I arranged and adhered all elements to the hoop I added Finnabair's Gold Glass Glitter and Finnabair's Gold Micro beads.

Last step was to add splats of white gesso diluted with water.

I hope you enjoy and I would love to hear from you in the comments bar of my blog.
