Altered Bucket

Hi Everyone!!  So today I am sharing a small altered bucket that I have done.  This was so quick and easy to make.  It came out just the way I wanted it to as well!!!  The paper I used came from Bo Bunny the Gabrielle line.  I just love pink and brown together!!  The layered some white lace, pink flat back pearls and a brown rosette trim with pearls in some of the rosettes.  I then distressed them with gesso.

 The paper I cut and distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and then also added gesso to the edges.  On three sides of the bucket I did something new.  I used a word stencil and some modeling paste, I think it came out awesome for my first time.

 On two sides I did flower clusters, which are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I used the pink cottage roses, the 2 tone chocolate brown wild roses,  white tea roses, and pink semi-open roses.  The white daisy under the cottage rose came from a trim that I had in my stash that I cut apart.  I also added green rose leaves under the clusters.  I then softened everything up with gesso.

Thanks for stopping by and have a scrappy day!!
