Eureka Stamps Challenge #195 Anything Goes

Eureka Stamps' Challenge theme this week is

Anything Goes

As many of you might know already, I am taking the Wanderlust online classes. The teacher a few weeks ago was Andy Skinner, one of my favorite artist. He feature a dry-brush technique using a shadow box frame from a kit. I felt immediately in love with this technique, so I decided to use the 28301 Riverwalk image from Eureka Stamps and do this technique to a very simple wooden frame from Michaels.

This was my first frame, which I made it for my son's teacher, who is leaving the school as end-off-the year gift:

The image was watercolored using H2O shimmering watercolors.

some close-ups:

I used all this materials for the frame:

Creative Embellishments laser cut shipboard from their mixed media kit: https://creativeembellishments.com/mixed-media-kits/february-kit.html

and some firebrick distress paint from Ranger.

I had so much fun doing this technique that I made a second frame, using a word for the shipboard embellishment I used:

I am loving this technique and I think my second trial went better too.

I would love to enter the following challenges:

For this bloghop, mostly about princesses, I decided to make a mini album for my daughter from her last Singing Princesses birthday party from her friend Angela.

I used a DCWV paper pack, Once Upon a Time, a paper crafting world cutting file (crown), and some distressing cardstocks from Ranger. I added some vintage velvet glitter to some parts, a Prima Flower, some flowers cut from the file, and some prima rhinstones. I found the Rapunzel images on the internet and just printed them in my color ink printer.

I really enjoyed making this project and made a google+ album for each page: https://plus.google.com/u/0/113294990274191982467/posts
