Shadowbox Bird Shrine (& Giveaway!) & FREE Spring Bulbs Kit!
Filed under Art Projects, Contests/Winners, Design Team, Featured Artwork, Giveaways, Kits, Newsletters
Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Jeanne’s project that are still available on the new site.
How cute is that! Design Team Member Jeanne Draachreider turned the New and On Sale! Shadow Box Shrine Kit – Bird (adorable by itself) into a stacked shrine (and left out the clear acrylic window and the solid back so that the center niche became a hole (with a tiny bird nest)! I love it!
I also love the dimensional colored dots Jeanne used on the bird shrine (and a few other pieces) so much, that I had to order some Viva Decor Pearl Pens — in lots of bright colors. Links/photos of some of the hues (and the crackle medium Jeanne used) are below.
And if you’re wondering what are all of those objects Jeanne has stacked up in a gravity-defying manner, here’s a link to her supply list. And see more photos in the Gallery.
Plus, it you wander over to the gallery, you’ll also see some gorgeous new digital collages Jeanne made, like the close-up of the fab The Famous Lukens below! (I’m seeing a theme of items balanced on balls…) I love how Jeanne merged the birds from the Oiseaux De Mode and Parrots Collage Sheets with the vintage circus performers.
But wait, there’s more! I’ve got two more enticing bits of news before the new items (and today’s Giveaway!)
First: today is the final day of the Valentine’s Day Sale.
Second: this has to be the most colorful kit I’ve ever put together! It started with tulips and then just got a bit out of control! Ribbons, resin flowers, 10 (10!) different scrapbook papers, and… a brand new, exclusive collage sheet of Spring Bulb Inchies!
This mini kit is FREE for all orders over $20! More info (and more photos) on the Spring Bulbs Gift Kit page.
