As I was reading my blog roll , I came across 2 challenges(which
I am linking to) that have highly inspired this project
Firstly, Lulupu challenge 49 = color palette+ feminine creations + use wings which has a
fantastic picture. In the picture something subtle but what caught my attention
the girl in the picture holding a candle stand, the bronze clock and the tinge
of pink, blue and peach.
Another challenge that truly got me starting was CSCC #14
mixed media challenge. The romantic picture kept making me this of candle light.
In the picture I loved the magnifying effect with a dash of bright red which
steals all attention.
So there I was sitting in my crafting area staring at an old
cardboard box. I knew I wanted to make a candle light holder, but these 2
pictures set my mood going.
I am making this as an inspiration for the unstampablles
challenge with a theme of family tree with a twist to make it vintage. I
interpreted the theme slightly differently to think of members of the family as
different elements of a tree (flower/ fruits, roots, flora , fauna), with light
meaning family bond in the center.
I altered a cardboard box into a tea light candle holder. I
added strips of cardboard and painted make it appear as wood. Further randomly added
torn vintage pp , dabbed with inks and gesso.
I added brown and orange flowers (from flourishwithbling) and some hand made flowers. I made a metal butterfly from some broken old earrings. I also made the peach flowers of handmade paper and added pearls to it to embellish
Embellished this with
pearls, beads, fibre etc. I also stuck a magnifying glass to focus on “our
journey” to add some emotion and magnify emotions.
Hope you enjoyed it and play along the unstampablles challenge which is giving away a superb pillow box die from Die-namics .
