Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Whimsical, Casual, Romantic, Classic, Traditional, Mod


Materials

Oval bezel, Ice Resin, Eiffel Tower scrapbooking sticker, "Paris' stamp from scrapbook paper, "La Tour Eiffel" words from same sheet of scrapbook paper, bezel set semi-precious stone, diamond cut ball chain

What was your inspiration?

My sister's trip and photos from her trip to Europe was my inspiration. I found the scrapbooking sticker and I knew what I wanted to do.

What are you most proud of?

I like how the words and the stamp look aged, mostly due to resin leaking underneath the glued pieces of paper! For a cleaner look, be sure to SEAL the elements with Modge Podge or Alene's Glue (my faves).

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

You might need some reading glasses/magnifying glass, some tweezers and a LOT of patience: it can be tedious work to place things exactly where you want them.

I got them at Hobby Lobby! They come in a set of about 5-7, and there is a variety of stones in the package.
