DT Scraps of Darkness - Ideas Matter

Welcome friends!

My next project with our awesomeScraps of Darkness May Kit 'Attic finds',

I was inspired to make a new (old) shadox box.

 Unfortunately I havn't such box in my stuff, but I saw this great background paper 'Upper & Lover' from 7 gypsies in our May Kit 'Attic Finds' and thought it looks like amazing and I will try this.

 I took an old canvas and use the backside as wooden frame.

With some acrylic paints (gold, black and brown) and a crackle paste, which I used only on some places I created a frame in altered art.

 the new stickers from the Architextures collection are very cool, it's very easy to work with it, you can cut, you can colored and they are self - adhesive

I added three books and the iron gates and not to forget this amazing lamp, she was glued with two chipboards and it's hanging from the frame for a 3D effect

brushes are a chipboard from my stuff, I colored with some acrylic paints

 and used a copper embossing powder

 yes and such a cool door handle was the perfect addition for my art room frame

I cut out some words from the paper Architextures 'Market signs' 

the 'Idea' piece were distressed and wrinkled, it adds more dimension on this altered frame

to complete the look I also added some alphabet tiles from our last month kit

and the wonderful new paper dolls from Tim Holtz

which were a birthday gift 

from a very good friend

Thanks for your visit!

Happy crafting!
