Liberty Vignette Tray by Paula Cheney

Hello friend! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today, and please join me in welcoming back special guest Paula Cheney with this super gorgeous vignette tray with the perfect theme just ahead of America’s 250th! Read on and enjoy!

Prep the Vignette Tray

Using Collage Medium, adhere a piece of the main ledger pattern from the 12×12” Palette Indigo pack to the back of a small Vignette Tray. This particular paper pack includes a fantastic sheet featuring strips of every single design in the collection. I used these versatile “strip” papers to cut and fit perfectly sized pieces for both the inside and outside edges of the tray, giving it a beautifully cohesive look.
Add paper to the sides of the tray, then add Design Tape to the lip edge. I chose the blue scallop tape because it matches the Indigo paper perfectly! I always add a bit of Collage Medium to the lip edge before adding the tape for longevity.
Punch the wider of the two medium Etcetera Pinked Trims from the sheet. Use Tonic Snips to cut the Trim to the inside width of the Vignette Tray.
Use pattern paper from the Palette Indigo pack to cover one side of the “cut to fit” Pinked Trim.
Add Collage Medium to the sides of the trim (the “pinked” edge will face down into the tray). Let dry about 20- 30 minutes, till the shelf is stable.
Add one of the ruler strips that can be found in the Memoir Ephemera pack. There are many sizes and patterns to choose from. I added a thin piece of chipboard to the back of the ruler for stability before gluing it to the trim piece with Collage Medium.

Paper Dolls

The main focal point is the two Paper Dolls from the Solos pack. I colored them with Distress Crayons in Chipped Sapphire and Lumberjack Plaid. You just need a few things to color Paper Dolls: a few cotton swabs, a Detailer Water Brush (dry barrel), and a small puddle of water. Scribble the crayon onto the Glass Mat or a Craft Sheet. Pick up the crayon with a slightly damp Detailer Water Brush (you control the water using the puddle). Paint the flag and the blue sash. For the boy’s vest, the crayon was scribbled directly on to the clothing and rubbed with my fingertip till you could see the detail again. The cotton swab was used on the cheeks. Pick up the crayon with the end of the cotton swab and pounce over the cheeks. Use the clean end to wipe away any excess.
I wanted to add more detail to the girl’s white dress, so I added polka dots over the dress with a POSCA Paint Marker. Tip: always test the Paint Marker on a scrap paper. Paint Markers must be shaken and therefore tend to push put a big blob right at the start. I always test on scrap paper, then move on to the Paper Doll.

Top Compartment

Add a Curio Frame to the back of the tray. Use tape to combine the two Paper Dolls, then make 4 triple stacks of 3D Foam Squares. Add the foam stacks to the back of the Paper Dolls to adhere to the tray.
Use Collage Medium from the squeeze bottle to add glue to the center back of each of the Mini Marquee letters. I chose to spell out LIBERTY for this project, but any word of choice can be substituted. Set aside to dry.
Spray Idea-ology Bouquet flowers with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Spray Stain and dry with a heat tool. Once dry, paint the center of each flower black to mimic a poppy.
Use Collage Medium to add the red poppies to the shelf along with some shredded cheesecloth.

Bottom Compartment

Paint three embellishments for the bottom compartment: large Salvaged Heart: Antique Linen, Ribbon from Lucky Adornments pack: Prize Ribbon, and the star Figure Stand: Candied Apple and Black Soot. Let dry completely before starting step 14.
Use steel wool to lightly sand the heart, ribbon, and star.
I’ve never used Foundry Wax on wood so I thought I’d give it a go! I squeezed out a small amount of Foundry Wax on a disposable paper. I painted the Number Block 4 with a small paint brush and used an embossing tool to heat the Foundry Wax till it became shiny. I repeated the steps with a second puddle of Foundry Wax, painting, and heating. The two layers gave me just what I wanted, texture over the wood and a shiny surface.
Gather all the items you have prepared, plus a few pieces of ephemera from the Memoir pack, and a Vintage Flair Red Cross button. Add a Mini Fastener to the top of the prize ribbon.
Use Collage Medium to add the embellishments to the bottom compartment.
Chose a word or phrase from the Clippings Sticker Book to add to the Salvaged Heart.
