Beautiful balance

Here's a lovely second hand find that I purchased a while ago. As you can see, it's a plain wooden frame/board. It only cost me 5 SEK (0,5 Euro). There's so much potential!

My plan was to upcycle this second hand find, by putting a  fabric flower in the vase-like object in the middle. I also wanted to paint the frame. Eventually I just painted everything white with acrylic paint (Traditional craft paint), because I thought it looked  refreshing and very neat that way. I painted a pink fabric flower purple. Finally I stuck the flower in the vase. Here's the result. -> Yay.


I think it goes well together with the colours in my apartment, as you can see here.

Ps. I have submitted this upcycled project to the following challenges:
All Crafts Challenge: June/July

4 Crafty Chicks: Anything goes

Through the Craft room door: Anything goes

A bright day

Here's a birthday card. I made most of the card digitally so that I could duplicate it. I wanted to have lots of birthday cards in store in case I forget someone's birthday. This image by Chi Chi memories is an awesome birthday image. I made one version where she has green hair instead of the yellow/golden that you can see here. I love that she looks so happy. 

I painted most parts with ProMarkers and Stickles. The papers can be found here, here , here, here and here.

I have used this layout that you can find on the CCM challenge. I have also joined their latest challenge.
Other challenges that I have joined are the following:
