So...here I am...working on finishing up my dual Master's Degree...and in the heart of writing my super long thesis paper...my computer crashed! So not only was I behind on writing...I got behind on my BTS LO series! Have no fear...the rough draft of the paper has been submitted, so here is another Back To School LO featuring my sweet niece (and one of my crafting buddies!) Jacie! Isn't she just precious???
Here is the LO!
I love clocks and since the parents of this sweet girl are always wanting time to just stand still a little bit more, I figured the clock theme would be more than fitting! I used a Tres Jolie chipboard clock and started with a coat of white gesso on it. I also used a brick stencil to make a background and covered the modeling paste in places with white crackle paste and paint for a little more texture! Jacie's first day of school outfit was gorgeous and I really wanted to channel the natural colors she wore, but also her sparkly personality with plenty of blue tones and TONS of glitter!
The kit I primarily used with this LO came with some metallic flowers, and you can below where I used some of those along with the good 'ole fashioned paper flowers as well!
Below you can see more metal flowers and how I used some Tim Holtz Distress Spray stain in Picket Fence to add some drops of color and give the flowers a little more personality!
There she is, folks! I hope you enjoyed checking these pictures out just as much as I enjoyed capturing the moment for Jacie!
xoxo,
Mel
