                  Coloring Metal

This project was so much fun to make. I started with a plain box and painted it with Martha Stewart Pearls: Mint Chip. Then, I Mod Podged Princess paper from Prima, added some lace and pearl trim, and then the fun began!


    To color your metal pieces:

First paint all metal parts with white gesso and allow them to dry completely. (You could also use finger nail polish or acrylic paint to cover metal.) I wanted a very pastel color so I used gesso first.

Then, paint them with the color of your choice. I used Martha Stewart Pearls. I also glittered the butterflies.

I used both small and large leaves. The flower center were ribbon buckles and flat back pearls. Some of the other centers were just pearls. Teardrop pearls were added on two of the flowers as                                                             accents.

May 3,2014 Welcome

Hi everyone, I am so happy you have stopped in. A little about me . My name is Rebecca and after having lost My Dad and Big Brother last year I needed to find something to help fill those lonely spots. I started watching You Tube and WOW a whole new world opened to me. I have always done some crafty things since I was young.  I have been so inspired by the Ladies on You Tube, I would have to say in the beginning I was totally absorbed with Angela Holt Designs and Fiona Jennings . They made everything seem possible to do as a newbie.  I have added so many other talented ladies to my watch list. I hope this will be your come to place for peace, drama free and some giggles along the way. I am just starting out so please be patient with me. I would also like to say a major Thank You to Deb Ochs-Lagrone. A very dear friend and someone that has believed in me from day one. I am also blessed to have an Amazing husband of 32 years and a daughter who is the light of my life. I am very lucky to blessed with a wonderful family that always encourages me to spread my wings.
so pull up a chair and I invite you to come along on this journey with me.
