I finally got brave enough order some "Rustic Pallets" from
Walnut Hollow to play around with. I originally noticed these pallets in a
Scraps of Darkness kit, but I didn't subscribe to the kits until the month after I saw the awesome pallet in the kit! I ordered a few "extra" since I am a
hoarder person who doesn't like to pay for shipping more often than I have to. I started small, with one of the ones that is about 8" x 8" and decided to use it as if it were an actual pallet to stack things on. In keeping with the upcoming holidays and to help me get into the Christmas spirit I decided to go for a Christmas theme. I had some great papers in my stash that fit my mood so I started by covering the top of the pallet with the Christmassy papers. I wasn't sure if I wanted to cover the bottom with papers, so I used the green Lumiere paint that came with a Scraps of Darkness Kit (Transition) because with the gold undertones in the paint it seemed to go with the theme.
I didn't want to go too overboard with the details because I was already fairly certain that I knew what I wanted to "stack" on top of this pallet. I layered a few doilies onto the center of the pallet. The top doily was one that I had previously tried to color and wasn't satisfied with the outcome. This time I layered some mists on the doily using a combination Heidi Swapp, Lindy's Stamp Gang, and Maya Road. I'm still not totally satisfied, but it works for the project! :) I added some flowers up top and again used some mist to soften the pink on the "top" flower with the bling around it...
Here is a close up of the flowers...
And here you see my pallet with my Scentsy "stacked" on top of it...I hope you like and thanks as always for looking!!!
Love,
