I have a fun challenge for you today. At least I hope you’ll like it! I’ve recently decided to stop hoarding some darling little charms I bought a while ago and just use them. Do you find yourself doing the same thing? Charms are a fabulous accent and embellishment. If they have words on them, I love how they can tie a design together by adding a little thought. Whether your charms are metal or you make your own…find great ways to tuck them into your design. My favorite way to use them is clustered in a group of embellishments such as below on this home decor piece I created. Play along with today’s challenge here.
Steadfast Hope
You may have seen this Thomas Kinkade The Light of Peace image colored here before. It’s one of the ones I colored while away at the cottage and I just knew it had to go into something besides a card. I’m thrilled with the way this altered frame turned out.It’s actually an MDF frame that I picked up at Michael’s and then covered with some Basic Grey paper. To frame the image section, I stamped a couple backgrounders right onto the paper and another on the kraft cardstock behind my image. My hope charm by Imaginesce helps accent the main theme of light and hope.
Quick Tip: After coloring with Copic Markers…add in some extra detail with the sharp, fine point of a Prismacolor colored pencil.
Wishing you a fabulous day!
