Hi Everyone, hope you had a great weekend.
Today is a new challenge over at BBTB2 and Melanie has asked us to use a cricut cut flower for her challenge of April Showers bring May Flowers.
I made a brooch ...
My melt pot eventually arrived so I got to play with my beeswax and UTEE.
The base of the brooch is one of the chipboard shapes that comes with Artiste.
I then cut a circle at 1.75" to fit, inked the edges and melted beeswax over it.
It gives a lovely vintage feel to it.
I cut a flower at 2.5" from Art Philosophy and leaves from Artiste.
I then melted UTEE in the melt pot and dipped them in it to make faux porcelain leaves and flower.
I added blue twine and a brooch fastener and then hot glued everything to the brooch.
Just a pearl flourish to finish.
The ladies have some awesome projects to inspire you so do check them out and hope you come and play along.
Thanks for looking.
Beautiful, Jayne! I love the vintage "Shabby Chic" look to it. Brava on getting right to it with the melting pot. I think I've had mine a year and it's still in the package. LOL You've inpired me to break it oout. xxD

ReplyDeleteJayne, this is wonderfully beautiful. I used to use my melting pot a lot but it got pushed in the back of a shelf. Your brooch is just perfect for the challenge and a fantastic little pin to wear.
