My Creative Journey

Hi everyone, hope you all had a fantastic weekend. 

I've been busy creating over the last few days and have loads to share with you this week. 

First up is a gorgeous, vintage suitcase. I love the way that this suitcase turned out. It's actually part of a set of 2 and I will share the other one with you tomorrow.

I used the beautiful Time Traveler papers by Prima on the case. I just love this collection, shabby chic and vintage, my favourite combination. 

The metal flowers are the Mechanicals Collection by Finnabair for Prima. The colours didn't quite suit my case so I decided to alter them a little. I gave them a coat of Gesso and then painted them with Color Bloom spray mists by Prima in Worn Leather and Tea Stain. I also painted the Prima resin with the same sprays. I added some pretty flowers and some Say it in Crystals. I added some trim to break up the colours. The chipboard is from Dusty Attic.

I've had this gorgeous Prima locket in my stash for ages and am really glad I finally got to use it. I cut out one of the small roses from the papers and placed it under the cabochon.

The chipboard is from Dusty Attic. I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress ink the heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I distressed the edges a bit to give it a worn leather look. I then added eyelets and some leather jewellery thong.

Thanks for popping along to visit today. Tomorrow I will be sharing the matching Time Traveler suitcase. There is a reason for this one being plain at the top :-). 

On Thursday I will be sharing my last 2 projects for Meg's Garden. And on Friday I have a mixed media canvas. Have you ever wondered what to do with all your spare alphas? Well come back and visit on Friday and i will show you what I created with mine. There will also be a step by step tutorial on how I made the canvas.

Until next time, Jen xxx
