Today is Thursday so we have a new challenge for you at 4 Crafty Chicks. Leanne is our hostess and since it is the 5th Thursday of the month the theme is Anything Goes.(Our Crazy Egg challenge)
Now, let me tell you- this project is not for the faint of heart! It took me 6 hours to complete! But, I do think it was well worth it! I found the cut files for this beautiful gazebo at SVGCuts.com. I decided since it was my first one I was going to try to make it as close as I could to the example. (Now, I can't wait to experiment with different colors and seasons!) After cutting all of the pieces (20 sheets of paper!) I decided that I wanted my layers to have some shimmer - so I re-cut all of the layers with different paper. Next I decided that my "snow" also needed a little something extra so I embossed all of those pieces with WOW Sparkling Snow embossing powder. Then came time to glue it all together. I think there are about a million pieces! (Actually each section has 8 main peices) I embellished it before putting it all together to make it a little easier and when I was finished I added some battery operated candles inside to give it a "glow" I am absolutely in love with this thing! The pictures really do not do it justice!
Here are a couple of close ups:
This was the perfect project for a snowy Sunday afternoon while the hubby was watching football.
So, head on over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your Anything Goes project today! I can't wait to see what you create! Oh, and while you are there- be sure to leave the other girls some love. They are truly amazing!
See you soon!
