Hello Belles, this is my first post as a part of the design team of UnstampaBelles challenges.
The challenge for October is .....
..TIME
and the twist is shabby chic!
Time can be many things - a moment, a place in the day, a memory.....
Remember also you can make a card but
you can also make anything else that suits the challenge theme!
Just also remember - NO STAMPS to be used please either digital or rubber or clear/cling - not even in the background or for a sentiment.

Now, have a look at my project. I interpreted the theme quite literally, using a clock. My project indeed has a flavor of shabby chic but is also what I call "cute".
I received this triangular desk clock with a big corporate
logo inside…and I couldn’t help but alter this one. I wanted to go with the
baby theme. I made this as a gift for namakaran
(It is a festive celebration in India
when a new baby is born and is also named in this ceremony). To the
clock, I also added 3 photo areas where photos
of one’s choice can be displayed.
And dear readers, I also have and easy step by step tutorial
for you!
To start with I opened the clock piece to paint (white)the
inside to hide the logo. Since a new mommy is tearing herself part between
feeding, changing diapers, playing with
the baby and taking care of herself I thought of adding stickers / sketching
cartoons with copic markers to add flavor. I also stuck a monkey on the long hand of the clock
suck that he can do the rounds(pun intended) 24 times a day, accompanying the
mommy.

Next I cut out a tree with my paper knife from a Kraft colored cardboard
(Which is one ingredient I almost always use for my mixed media project).

I had hoarded the yogurt cup holders we buy from the store.
When I stick two together in allows me to even slip photo through it acting like a frame. I
decided to use it here as the radius of these perfectly matched the clock (I
broke the 3rd circle as you can see).
For the base of the clock, I first coated the glass with
masking tape. Then I coated it with gesso and modelling paste and scratched
with a fork to create a checked pattern. I once again smooshed the ink pads
directly on this. Then I stuck my tree onto the side.
I cut out my textured papers and stuck them onto the created
frame. This is the space created to add photos.
Now comes the fun part, embellishing this. You can see a lenient use of
chipboard, beads, lace, twine.
The bird is a chipboard, the eggs are beads while the nest
is burlap string. The baby and the milk bottle are embellishments (of polymer clay) by Sunglow Art.
Note that I have leniently used lace behind each embellishment and inked it for adding drama!
I made flowers using
the same textured paper and pearl. The green moss/ grass is fibre moss. If
you do not have this green wool which is torn and tattered will work equally
well!
Did you also notice a tad of shimmer i added? |
And here it is!
