Family is Life's Greatest Blessing

Another fun challenge this week with Creative Inspirations Paints! We were to go 3D! Something I have to admit, I never did before. But I really enjoy doing this challenge. I have had this shadow box picture frame sitting around in my room for the longest time and I have always been meaning to do something with it. Well now was my chance.

I do not have a picture in it yet, as I am waiting to give this frame to my mom for Christmas with our family picture in it.

I used CI paints "Garnet" and "Fairy Dust" to cover the flowers, using a water pen.

I printed the "Family" from my Cricut using the Storybook font cart. I then used SU stamp set "Priceless" to add the swirls. I used CI Paint "Garnet"to cover the stamp and add some shimmer! Sometimes I have learned that stamping with the paints you may sometimes not get an even coat when you stamp it, but have learned it is very easy to touch up by using a toothpick! In the detailed picture below, the small circles weren't very dark, so I used a toothpick to make to add some more paint and make them stand out!

Now I am hoping to get some time this weekend to see what cool things I can do using toothpicks with the paints! I just love what you can do with these paints! They are so easy to work with! I really also like that they dry fairly fast so if you're on a roll you can keep working and not have to wait a long time for them to dry!

Finished product! I think my mom will really like it. I tried making something fairly elegant and think I accomplished my goal!!
