All Mum's deserve gifts at any time of year and after mine was poorly recently I made her this large picture magnet to cheer her up. I used a chipboard sheet and chipboard pieces from Tando Creative and a beautiful vintage image that was supplied for a challenge on Hands and Heart ning.
I covered the chippie sheet in acrylic paint and glitter (although my photography doesn't show this up too well I'm afraid) before decoupaging the image and I adhered a piece of magnetic sheet to the reverse so that it can be displayed on the fridge.
I painted the smaller chipboard pieces and added glitter before covering with Diamond glaze and added a teardrop gem to the top piece.
It took a while but I think it was worth it in the end.
Thanks for looking.
hugs
