This "princess castle" as I call it came in 7 pieces and I gessoed all of the pieces first.
I then used some acrylic paints in a light pink first, followed by a layer of a deeper pink. I then used some Lumiere Halo Violet Gold and just swept lightly with a dry brush all over the pieces.
For the middle tower peak I punched a piece of cardstock using the Fiskars Scallop Sentiment edge punch and then masked that with a straight edge piece of cardstock and daubed on some Adirondak paint daubers in Pearl to give the scalloped tile look.
I then used a flourish stencil from Pebbles Accents pack and using the Lumiere Halo Violet Gold stencilled the flourishes over a few of the pieces.
Just under the tower peaks I wrapped some soft green ribbon and stuck on some half-back pearls.
I lined the drawers with designer paper and added some stickers and embellishments and voila!
I'm sure Amelia won't appreciate it just yet but I think it will last a while for her to place her special bits & pieces.


This is very cute . . . your granddaughter is going to love it no matter what her age!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. I hope it lasts that long - she's a rough one LOL
