LESSology Challenge #48: Creative inspiration of Lizzy Hill

It's almost the weekend! Perhaps you may find some time to play along with LESSology Challenge #48: Lace up! How about a little creative inspiration from design team member Lizzy Hill?

Hi there! LESSology has an easy challenge this month. Use lace! And since it can be any sort of project [as long as you use at least one upcycled or recycled item], I reckon that makes it even easier!

I'm gradually altering my boxes and tins in my study & my craft room. So, today was this black box's turn:

My aim is blue, with a little green and pink as my craft room colours. Aim, I DID say!!! Probably never happen....but I'm trying;)

Anyways, here's the box now:

I've made lace butterflies! Started with food packaging. Punched the shapes. Gessoed and painted the butterflies.

 

 Added some lace, then mica flakes.

 

Cut them up, then sealed, added a little gesso [pink] and some Inkagold [in gold!] as finishing touches. 

 

The bodies & antennae are Liquid Pearls:

To create the box, I gessoed, then painted with Dusty Attic paints. Added some texture paste with a mask:

Then popped on some stamping, went over the whole box with a light champagne folk art paint....& smudged in a little Gelato in pink:

And then the final touch was some heat embossing with a stamp in gold:

And one final 'pretty' photo:

Hope I've motivated you to try and add a bit 'o' lace to summat or t'other!!!

Happy scrapping ~ Lizzy ♥♥♥
