I painted the MDF board in pink and then using a wide foam brush, I painted crackle glaze in vertical stripes.  After allowing that to dry I then used the same width foam brush and again, using vertical stripes with white paint, went over the crackle glaze.  Once that was dry, I dipped a pint glass in pink paint and dotted the rim all over the crackle glaze.  I then tied various ribbon to the right of the project (a must have request from Ellie!).

I made two photo corners from chipboard and covered it in paper to flow with the colour scheme. I then selected various scrapbook left over papers to lay the flowers on (I had painted the flowers pink to stand out on the white).  I glued theflowers onto the papers and cut the excess paper away from the edges and stuck them in a random pattern on the white crackle glaze area of the board.

I found some large chipboard letters and painted them to spell the word SLEEP and hung them off the flowers.  I find the flowers made the most boldest statement on this art project and I didn’t want the letters to take over the focus.  I flourished the rest of the project with Prima gems and when it was done I hung it in Ellies Bedroom by screwing each corner to the wall. 

Ellie loves it, I love it and visitors think she is a lucky girl to have a custom piece of wall art.
