Happy 2012 my friends! :) May your new year be a wonderland of happiness with your dreams fulfilled!
I've been busy making wedding decorations for my cousin's wedding which is this Sunday...thank goodness....there's a light at the end of the tunnel! *LOL*
Today I'm sharing a 12 x 12 canvas layout that features a castle! So fun eh? *LOL*
It was previously a little girl's toy...which I spray painted. The colour turned out to be a light metallic green instead of a light aqua [Boohoo...I was cheated by Krylon!!!]....so glitter and bling to the rescue! Turns out that glitter can cover up a multitude of "sins"! *LOL*
I added some grey felt so that the castle wasn't so dazzling...*LOL*
I actually painted over an old canvas [because the idea struck me one insomniac night and I had no blank canvas], adhered some scrunched up wrapping tissue and misted it. Once that was dry, I covered the canvas with white tulle for a dreamy effect! :)
A little banner action...pearls, stickers, clear crystals, charm, mirror...
Trim, pearls, charm, handmade felt flowers....
Supplies: 12 x 12 canvas, toy castle, glitter, wrapping tissue, Maya mist, handmade felt flowers, embellishments from Gauche Alchemy.
The title of this piece was inspired by the "wonder" challenge at Bird is the Word.

Oh my, what a transformation! I was originally thinking you made it out of tubes, but the toy had to be at least a little easier. So glittery, yet so dreamlike - against the canvas it looks wonderful.
