Dream Garden Chandelier

Hi Friends, Today I'm sharing this sweet Prima Traditional Chandelier which was inspired by Robbie's tutorial.  Since this project is 3D its a bit difficult to photographic so please bear with the wonky photos.. Hopefully you can see the details your interested in.

To create this, I started by painting the base with Prima's Robins Egg Blue chalk paint.  Robbie used a stencil transfer, however I used a swirl stamp to create the black highlights. After I stamped it, I used a mix of Modge Podge and iridescent glitter to coat the chandelier.   Then I used Diamond Dust to coat the bulbs so they sparkle like crazy in the light.  Here's a close-up of these effects:

I decorated each section of the chandelier with flowers and garden themed trinkets like a "blessed" water spigot, vintage garden hose knob, birds nest, bird house, wall water fountain and Dream Garden street sign.

That's it for me today.  Thank you for dropping by, please "follow" my blog, and "like and share" with your friends.  Until next time, stay creative and make it a happy day!  Hugs ~ Dawna
