Layered Apothecary cabinet with Dusty Attic chipboards

Hello!

Today, I thought I'd show you one of my favourite pieces from DA. I've loved this piece since I first saw it. The multiple layers and the wood look I've given it, make it look so real.

Have you ever tried using embossing folders to change the cardboard chipboards?

It works really well, you just need to be patient to find the right plates to create the right print. I used the 3D Texture Fades (Sizzix Lumber). So, how a cheap piece of furniture ended up as a noble oak cabinet.😀

It's become a real piece of jewellery, but it needs to be staged. Maybe on an album cover or a book box of herbal recipes, let's see.

Fairies Moon night - Enchanted Forest

Hello creative friends!

Today I present you a sign, which has the enchanted forest as a theme.

I have tied two signs of different sizes with strings.

At a late hour in the meadow, under the bright glow of the moon,
the fairies have shown up, and there's a whole lot of stardust and flower-scented air.

They're dancing and laughing, making it a really magical moment, full of enchantment and wonder.

It's a truly happy place, a place where you can switch off, relax and take your mind off things 😀.

Fairy furniture with Dusty Attic chipboards

Hello!

Hey, maybe you remember my forest lantern I showed you a while back?

Well, today I'm introducing a new furnishing. It was a blast to create objects in 3D from existing flat chipboards. I got to use my imagination to make benches, chairs, and tables. I also used dried natural materials like small tree branches, bark, moss, acorns, and more.

If you've got any more questions about how it was made, just let me know!

DA Escape outdoors

Hello!

Spring is on its way, and nature is waking up. Every day, there's something new to see. The daffodils are in full bloom, and the meadows are covered in daisies.

That's what got me thinking of doing a layout with a natural look. For the background, I used this lovely wildflower stencil, which went perfectly with the daffodils and daisies.

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!

Thanks for stopping by...until next time!

Album Secret Garden

Hello!

I was absolutely thrilled to discover this beautiful gate, I was instantly struck with the idea to create a collection of photos of forgotten gardens. I just adore exploring gardens that have been reclaimed by nature – they're always so thrilling and full of intrigue.
For this album, I chose to include a variety of beautiful flowers and plant elements, along with some delightful leftovers and small embellishments that I could easily add with just a few acrylic colours.
