Window Box by Rachel Harries

11:00


I decided to use the recent floral ODS stamps to create a window box for myself. I've used a That's Crafty! Upright and some of the AB Studio chipboard along side That's Crafty! greyboard.



I start by using gesso around the edges of the back plate and covering the base plate of the Upright.


I then adhere the paper to the back plate, then sand and ink the edges to give a nice finish.





I stamped on the base, coloured and inked the edges.




I glued the upright together.


I then added a little Sand Texture Paste to a  few places on the window and cogs.


I assembled the cogs in a way that was pleasing to me adding some extra pieces.


I took a small piece of greyboard and moistened it with a water spray before running through a woodgrain embossing folder.


I then popped the pieces in my spraying box and used Ayeeda Mist in Pastel Blue and Patina Bronze for my first layer.



I Dry brushed a little white gesso on the window box element and added some touches of a rusty coloured paint on all the pieces and started to assemble.


I stamped, coloured and fussy cut some of the flowers.


I added the flowers to my piece and then stamped on the upper part of the upright just to give a little more balance to the overall look.


and that's my window box.
