Today I'm sharing a framed home decor item I made using the Healing Prayer image from Aurora Wings. After I downloaded the image and colored using prismacolor and lyra pencils, I trimmed it down, stippled some tumbled glass distress ink for the sky and then added to an acrylic desk frame I've had in my stash for years and haven't used yet (NBUS). I then pulled out a Sizzix vine/leaf die, a bunch of Martha Stewart punches, a stack of scrap card stock and got to work to make my own garden. After die cutting a few of the leaf vines, I added them to the frame using Ranger's glossy accents for the "glue". I then punched out a bunch of smaller leaves, flowers and the larger butterflies using the Martha Stewart punches also adhering using the Ranger glossy accents. I softened the punched pieces by using my Making Memories metal embosser (old school!). My final embellishment was adding gold ice stickles to the butterfly's body and the flower centers. I'm really happy with how this turned out. Especially since it took over a week to make thanks to my migraines.

Your designs are beautiful, Bonnie, in spite of all the effort it takes to do them because of the pain from your migraines. I admire you for persevering because the results are amazing! Thanks for linking again and I hope you get a break soon from the migraines. Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful result Bonnie - a week well spent I think. I'm so sorry to read about your migraines - i suffered for years with those - then they stopped after 'a certain age'. Just like that.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and it's lovely to see you playing along.
Hugs
