Hello! :)
Thought I'd share with you today,
the lantern that I altered as a gift to a special friend of ours.
---
I forgot to take a 'just bought' picture...but it was plain...soooooo....
I gesso'd it...
added lots of DecoArt products:
Texture paste...
Crackle paste...
Media Fluid Paint...
Wethered Wood and
more paint...
Sanded a bit here...
painted a bit there...
Added a laminated sentiment...
Or two...
and...
Ta daa......
There we have it!
I so enjoyed altering this, mainly because of the sentiment behind the project... but I just loved watching the transformation as I went along.
-----
Look! I also have a matching drainpipe!! lol I'm not taking any credit for that though...that one's down to Mother Nature ;) x
I'm entering this into:
Pile it On - Your First Initial (L - Light/Lantern)
Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
Anything but Cute - Ring out the Old, Bring in the New (New lantern
That's Crafty - Winter but not Christmas
Take care all...
Happy Crafting
