Shabby Chic/Mixed Media "Hope Captured" Home Decor Frame (DT Project for reneabouquets)

I wanted to create a beautiful gift for a friend  and was able to find a premade farmhouse type home décor piece from WalMart. I loved that it had a see through chicken wire center, but knew that the wooden cow wired to it, needed to be removed. LOL. I'll save that for a later project!  The original color was a very, very, very bright blue, so I primed it first with some white chalk spray paint and then used Prima Heavy White Gesso and a round pounce brush to add texture on top. I did several layers of pouncing the gesso onto the frame and then heat set it in between the layers. It gives such a wonderful, all-over, finite texture. I wanted to give the project a timeless, shabby chic, inspirational feel, and still add some steampunk type elements from Renabouquets new Beautiful Board line called "Steampunk Style". The gears look right at home amidst flowers, glitter glass, printed Beautiful Board, butterflies, lace, Blue Fern Studios new paper line called Tattered Walls and so much more from Reneabouquets.com and Reneabouquets Etsy.   It all came together to complete an overall enchanting, textured quality for a treasured keepsake that can be displayed for years to come. 

 

Below the pictures will be a link to my YouTube video for a complete start to finish process of how I made this project! I will also add the links to the products used in this project from Reneabouquets.com.

Shabby Chic/Mixed Media Butterfly Wall Decor (DT Project for Reneabouquets)

I wanted to create a gift for a friend who is having a few medical issues right now, in hopes, that it would be inspirational for her and make her smile! I started with a 2 pc. layered butterfly that I found at Dollar Tree and by adding beautiful papers, some mixed media elements and exquisite product from Reneabouquets, this turned into a sweet piece of Home Decor! For the main focus of this project, I wanted to feature one of Reneabouquets Printed Beautiful Board pieces from the Garden party collection...Junie B Darling....and she is definitely darling!! You might want to take a peek at all the Garden Party elements at Reneabouquets...it's time to craft "spring and summer"!! You won't be disappointed!
