Project for my son

Hello everyone,

The last week i have been working on a project for my sons room. It was a bit of  a struggle because i find it really hard to scrap in a boys style, but in the end it turned out just as i imagined. 

The project are three wooden cirkels that i found at work that i altered with the letters from my sons name and a whole lot of embellishments.

I painted the edges of the circels with black acrylic paint and then covered it with different papers from the craftsman line from prima. For the sides of the circels i made my  own diamant plade (tranenplaat) with foil tape that i embossed with a cuttlebugfolder and coloured with black alcohol ink.With sandpaper i removed the black paint from the raised areas. You can see the same technique when you look at the frame of the letter. I also put some gesso on the circel with a woodgrain mask. The edges i also distressed with a bit of gesso. 

I recently bought the gears die from Tim Holtz and i used it on every circel. I heatembossed the gears with silver embossingpowder. I fussycut some images from the papers wich i treated with a layer of glossyaccents. On the project i used lots of chains,washers,nuts, chickenwire etc to give it boyish feel. (and i covered it all with some gesso).The butterflies are made with the same foil tape technique as the sides buth instead of alcoholink i used black acrylic paint.

I loved working with this line and i have a lot of paper left so i can make some layouts in the future!

The cirkels can stand on their own and they have got a home in the open ikea closet in my sons room.
He loved them! So i am very pleased!

Hope you all have a nice week!
