Karla, I purchased one of the 3 boxes of this style and I was planning on leaving it just as is (because it's beautiful already), but you have made this so much more pretty!! Thank you so much for sharing this project with us. 
 
P.S. Love the new look of your blog.

Altered Clock w/I Am Roses

This is a clock I've had for a couple years and always wanted to change it. I just didn't know what I wanted to do. I decided I wanted it to match my shabby chic craft room so I grabbed some paint, pearls, crystals, I Am Roses, and started working. Here is a list of the flowers you can only find at I Am Roses:

White Roses/multi pack S10 - 15

Semi Open Pink Roses T25 - 518

Small White Scrapbook Flowers ZM - 15

Two Toned White and Pink Roses R5 - 32

Two Toned Green & Pink leaves ZQ L5-3

I used 2 coats of plain white acrylic paint on the entire clock,

Champagne Folk Art paint for the accents,

Antique Gold Rub'n'Buff for the face of the numbers and some accent's, 

and Iridescent Medium on the larger White roses S10 - 15

I accented the clock face with a doily, pearls, and swarovski crystals.

Here are some before and after photo's! I hope you like my project!

Thank you for taking a look♥

Now on to what I created…

I made a bright summer bracelet for my Niece. I dipped  some beautiful white I Am Roses Item # R21 - 635

in Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Spray Hydrangea Blue. I dipped 5 of them into the color shot and heat dried. Then I attached wire links to bead caps and adhered the bead caps to the back of the flower. I then linked the flowers onto a silver chain, made a clasp and voila a bracelet!!!

Cameo Necklace using Lindy's Stamp Gang

I started out with some Fimo molds. I sprayed the molds with Lindy's Stamp Gang Voodoo Violet Blue Starburst Spray before I baked it. I also added holes to the top to use them on a necklace. I then baked the molds for 30 minutes @ 230 degrees. I used S links to attach them to a filigree bracelet. I added some silver chain and made a clasp from 20 gauge silver plated wire. I then added some IAmRoses sprayed with the Voodoo Violet Blue as a beautiful accent. For a more detailed look click here to view a video!

Another technique can also be used by painting the unbaked molds with magical mica's as I did here. I used Witch's Potion Purple, Cocoa Bean Copper, and Black Orchid Silver Magical Mica's.

Wedding Shadow Box

I had a lot of fun making this. I wanted to display my wedding photo's but I didn't just want matted photo's in frames. I found an 11"x14" frame and decided I needed to make a shadow box! So I constructed a shadow box out of chipboard. Then I grabbed some of my favorite I Am Roses, lace, pearls, bling, bobbles, and trims. To see the video on this project click here.
