GCD Studios CHA Projects

Hi all! Today I am finally sharing the projects I created for the fantastic GCD Studios award winning CHA booth! I had a great time creating all three of my projects and I hope, as you take a peak at them, that you find some inspiration you can use on your next crafting project!

First up is a Ferris Wheel party center piece that I found at my local craft store. Of course, I knew right away that the new Fun House collection was the perfect partner for this project!
To dress it up a bit, I added tickets hand cut from the patterned paper. I backed them with scrap chipboard to give them more dimension and durability. I also embellished it with Melody Ross ChipArt Chipboard stars that I dressed up using a gold leafing pen and gold distress Stickles.
On some of the stars I debossed them using the Melody Ross Chip Art tool and the Mini Shapes Ornamental Stamps. The final touch was an accordion folded medallion that I added to the center of each wheel and topped with a gold star!Ferris Wheel Fun
Supplies:
Fun House 12 x 12 Paper Pad
Chip Art Tool
Chip Art Ornamental Stamps: Mini Shapes
Chipboard Shapes: Stars

My next project is an altered painters tray that I altered using Animal Cracker for Girls! I cut out images from the fantastic die cut paper that is included in this collection and used them to "fill" some of the little openings.
I once again used some of the Melody Ross Chipboard Shapes and Chip Art tool to embellish this project. For these pieces I sprayed them with Glimmer Mist and then debossed them. Once dry I painted a light coat of antiquing gel and then wiped the excess away. I then added an edging of gold using a gold leafing pen.
Animal Cracker Tray
Supplies:
Animal Crackers for Girls 12 x 12 Paper Pad
Chip Art Tool
Chip Art Ornamental Stamps: Mini Shapes and Vintage Floral
Chip Art Alphabet Stamps: Bluebird Uppercase
 Chipboard Shapes: Flowers and Basic Shapes/Small

For my final project I was inspired to create a cute little purse diorama using the new Material Girl collection! When I saw this purse at my local craft store, I knew it would be the perfect thing to alter with these papers!
More Melody Ross Chipboard love on this one using Glimmer Mist. This works the same as lightly misting it with the spray bottle of water if you let it dry just a bit before you deboss it with the stamps. When you open the purse you can see the little diorama I created on the inside of the purse. I cut the perfume bottles from the patterned paper and then adhere them to the bottom so they would stand up and look more dimensional.
