Easter gift - Home decor

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

 Today, I'm going to share a cool idea for a small Easter gift.

 I used the Jagged Edge Rectangle as a base and glued the birdhouse to it, 

adding some dried natural branches for extra stability.  

The Rounded Rectangle Shape- as roof, 

divided into two parts and covered it with birch bark.

Kitchen Wall Art - Hello Spring

 

 Hello!

 

I created a new wooden sign in country house style and wanted realize a  simple,

 natural, vintage look, used-style. Love the lovely cockrell

 that tells everyone that spring is here.

 It is always a good idea to use your own words in different fonts 

to make something personalised. I will be using this more often soon!

Rustic Spring Decor

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

Today, I'm sharing a new project that's all about country style.

 I created a rustic look with a vintage twist.

 I used these beautiful chickens, 

which fit perfectly in a country-style kitchen or even for Easter.

Love the 3D look; it makes the objects come to life. 

 

I used a small Plain MDF House / Shrine Kit 

  and just removed the pointed roof, 

and that's how I created the little chicken coop.

Open the door for Spring

 

Hello creative friends!

 Spring is on its way, so let's get it going.
I got inspired by the enchanted world again and went on a trip to the spring forest

 to create a new 3D optic panel. 

As well as the pieces listed here, I used a lot of scraps that were left over from cutting up 

or that were broken off.

There's loads of lovely details in this picture, but we'll do it as usual.

 If you're interested in a specific technique used here, just ask nicely.

 

I just want to mention one thing: the three-dimensional design of the fairies

 by that I mean the upright wings. I achieved this by sawing them from behind

 to a certain point. 

OMG, how brutal, but it worked! 😀

Spring Cloche

 

 Hello!

 

Today a new spring decoration idea. 

I used a cloche as base in which some dry sticking compound was fixed. 

Chicks and roosters were too big, so they were simply split, 

which is very easy with the MDF material. Crackle varnish was used

 to give the nesting box a naturally weathered look.

 

If you have any further questions about the design of the individual MDF shapes, 

you are welcome to ask here.

Spring ATC pendants

 

 Hello creative friends!

 

 The first snowdrops are out in the garden now, 

and we're all craving some warmth and sunshine. 

I created three simple ATCs as Easter bouquet pendants. 

 

I made the background using old book paper, straw tissue paper, Distress Ink and stamps.

 I painted the beautiful spring flowers with acrylic colours and finished them with 3D varnish.

Easter Egg - Home Decor

 

 Hello everyone!

 

I have designed an Easter egg (210 x 150 mm)

 that can be used as a mural on a window or on a wall.

It could also work as a standing Easter decoration

 in a spring landscape if you built a small stand for it.

 

 I selected a basic wooden frame (which is not yet available here, but there are egg plaques here), 

and added a felt egg as a background. I decorated the top half with the Art deco part. 

I separated the vine corner and placed it behind the hare family, 

which was beautifully engraved and required minimal colouring.

Spring greetings - Homedecor

 

 Hello everyone!

 

The last month of winter has begun, and the longing for spring is great.

 Today, I present to you a new upcycling project. 

I found it in an old scramble box; it was missing two rabbits, but I liked it very much.

 So, I had the idea to make the whole thing prettier with a few Calico Craft shapes.

 

 

I used leftover wood-paper wallpaper to cover the rabbits, and aged the edges with walnut ink.

 Then, I created a spring landscape using only a few pieces, 

leaving the shapes in their original colours and highlighting them 

with a small amount of white acrylic paint.

  

 

With a matching Easter egg from my stock I filled in the missing part.

Springtime Gift Inspiration by Kerstin

 

Hello everyone!

 

 Today a new Home decor inspiration,

worked with an amazing Shrine Kit.

 

After a simple assembly and gluing of the kit,

 I applied a white crackle paint. 

Love the weathered look, not perfect, but unique.

 I was not afraid to break single parts into several pieces, 

fern now fits perfectly on the corner 

and a part of the daffodil wreath now crowns the shrine.

Secret Garden - Spring Home Decor

 

 Hello everyone!

 

Spring begins today, at least the meteorological kind 😀. 

Time to look forward to the garden again. 

 

Today I created a mixed media piece for the home decor,

 combining MDF shapes with castings from moulds. 

 Flat parts together with the 3d casts (made with air drying modeling clay)

 create a very lively image,

love that.

 

 

 

 

 

 Chose two oval mixed shape as the base

the lower larger form was painted with some texture paste 

and green acrylic paint. 

 Upper one received a crackling varnish in combination

 with beige acrylic paint.

 

 Window was primed with crackle medium and covered with several layers 

of acrylic paint to achieve a weathered look.

 

I put a photo behind the window, it should make you want 

to work in the garden again.
