Hi friends...sharing a mixed media project in the shape of a Puzzle which I made as a birthday present for my husband who loves gardening, flowers and birds!
I made it with the new MDF Puzzle from Crealies which is a very large puzzle and has lots of room to express your creativity!
I painted the Puzzle with a coat of gesso and decoupaged spring themed elements from a paper napkin onto it
Applied a brick stencil design using crackle texture paste and stamped a chicken wire design in the gaps of my design
Made flowers to match the design on the paper using circles!
Added cute little birds behind the flowers!
And of course I had to add my favourite sentiment die from Crealies "Smile" on a banner. I used the Crealies sticker sheets to die cut the smile...the sticker sheets are so useful to diecut and stick delicate diecuts such as the text dies.
I added the new Crealies gear dies here and there both inside the design and on the back of the puzzle.
Added tiny pearls at various places for a lovely texture
The cheerful bow from Crealies is never out of place!!
Stringed some tassels on a leafy ribbon to finish of the Puzzle
The whole piece can hang using a metal and satin handle which is actually a handbag handle!
I hope you liked this project.
So wonderful, Sonia! And it's just YOU!
