Contrasts

Welcome!

today a new home decor project for Tresors de Luxe

as I saw the great black lace, I thought, yes - just right for my home decoration project. It was a christmas gift and I was happy about this, but it must be more suitable to our home.

As you might have already noticed, I love contrasts, not only in colors, also in style. Generally are my favs altered items, but it can be also more fantastic and magic.  

But I will not tell so much, but rather show a lot here, or :-)?!

a combination from romantic vintage style with a touch of steampunk

that's my first tryings with the die 'Tattered flowers' from Tim Holtz

 with lighting 

crackle paint effects

distress ink + stencil diamonds
and this magical black lace

If you have questions how I do this, please ask me!
