MDUC's Pink and Grey Shadowbox

Edited to add the following exciting facts: This lovely project placed in the Top 5 at Cupcake Crafts Four legged and Furry challenge and also made the Top 5 over at Stamp Somethings Love Somethings Challenge, thank you so much for the crafty boost!!! You know what I just did? Went and opened up another page to collect the links to the challenges, went and got them, put them into this edit only to have it dawn on me, well, scroll down.... Geez, I need some sleep.


Hello lovely ladies,
it's Sunday in Australia
and you know what that means,
time for a new challenge over at
Magnolia Down Under,
which is a fabulous colour challenge of using
PINK and GREY
You will want to hop over and check out the
Design Team and fabulous guest creations,
they are totally gorgeous and inspiring,
and Kellie has put together a scrumptious prize
for one lucky lady, you don't want to miss it!!



You know, I think I like pink!! Okay, I will admit it, I like it a lot!! For our challenge this week, I have put together this shadow box full of fabulous goodies that I tend to hoard rather than use, which includes A LOT of scrummy gifts from Blogger buddies, which I will try and list as logically as possible.



The inside is layered with Graphic 45 DP, Modge Podged into place, there is a strip of lace peeping up above the filler grass, the heart shape is a laser cut shape that I added Ranger Crackle paint in picket fence to, plus my Tilda with Kitten image and the other kitty climbing the trellis is the cat from the Tilda with Cat stamp, which I have paper pieced for dimension and coloured in watercolour pencils and distress inks. Things have been popped up with foam mounts. The beads are from Michaels bridal department and those gorgeous flowers are Prima, the gardenias are from The Tremendously Talented Tracey, love them!!!



The heart was a wooden shape that got the crackle treatment, all flowers are Prima, with the addition of Crystal Stickles and that fabulous key is from my stash (oops, dumped everything together, now there's no telling who made what!!) The punches used are EK Success Fern and Martha Stewart Oak Leaf.



The sentiment scroll was stamped with Tattered Rose, the background stamp is by Stampabilities called Composer's Dream, the sentiment is by Studio G, distressed in Old Paper and bordered with Brushed Curdoroy, the wings are German Scrap paper from The Fabulous Debra, they were distressed in Milled Lavender and Old Paper and I added some Crystal Stickles. I've added some beautiful half pearls from Debbie The Glorious.



Yarg!!! It took longer to write than it did to make!!
Of course, I will pop this in at some of my fave spots!!
Crafty Creations wants to see wings on our projects,
Cupcake Craft Challenge wants to see
four legged and furry friends on our project,
and Stamp Something
would like to see Love Somethings,
and this is ideal for my loving,
but not quite Valentiney creation.

Thanks for stopping by today,
I hope you will have a chance to stop by
Magnolia Down Under,
better yet, I hope you can join us!!
Take Care,
Stephanne
