ATC Shrine by Debbie & Decorative Screen by GDT Rashida

Hello everyone today we have some dual projects up by one of our newest DT Debbie, and a gorgeous decorative screen from our Guest Designer Rashida.  First up is Debbie!

  Hello Everyone! Today I would like to share my version of Gina’s Designs Artist Trading Card Shrines.  I LOVE these!!!   These are such a great idea and take Trading Cards to the next level.  Not only do you have a great Trading Card but have an amazing Shrine to display it in. I can see myself giving a few of these as gifts.

I kept this project pretty simple by applying Inka Gold over the shrine itself and then adhering a Gina’s Designs Chipboard Fairy to the outside front.  I added a crystal knob to the top and metal photo corners to the front, both from my personal stash.

To make the Gina’s Designs Chipboard Fairy stand out a bit I painted her and then embossed her with a glitter white embossing powder. I rubbed a little Inka Gold over her and added some crystals.

When you open the Shrine you’ll find a fun vile of Fairy Dust and another Chipboard Fairy.  I also added a small Chipboard Butterfly and some more crystals.  I used the same techniques on the fairy and butterfly as the front fairy.

I hope you enjoyed this project and will give them a try…they are so much fun and I’ll be making more of these!

Thanks for stopping by!

Now over to Rashida to share her project.....

Hello everyone! Today I’m going to share my next project for Gina’s Designs. This week I had fun working with Gina’s Designs Decorative Screens. I especially enjoyed this project because when I saw them I immediately though of layers, flowers, metal and paint….my favorite things to work with.

 For the background I painted the screens black and then layered them with Recollections multi- surface ink in both black and vintage gold. Next I layered on Snow Tex and let it dry overnight. Once dry I sprayed the whole thing with Tattered Angles glimmer mist in Summer Glow, Yellow Zest and Ranger butterscotch color wash spray.

 Once that was dry I began layering Gina’s Designs butterflies and dragonflies, which I glittered and stacked, wire, K & Co swirls and gems, trims and flowers. I then added a Prima accent piece to the center screen and tied each piece together to create the finished 3 panel screen.

That’s about it, super simple and loads of fun! Thanks so much for looking, be sure to stop by Gina’s shop to pick up a few to try out.
