Welcome back Sharon
Happy Sunday
Everyone,
I decided to
use one of Denise’s Acrylic Tags for my D.T. Project. I started playing with
paper and it was looking pretty but I decided to do something different and see
where it took me.
Step 1. I
roughed the surface a little with fine sandpaper.
2. Then I used a brick stencil and
added white gesso.
3. After the gesso dried, I randomly used Copper Texture Paste here and
there and also, I placed some clear crackle paste on the white areas, then a minute
with the heat tool.
4. I then
distressed the bricks a little with grey acrylic paint, this step is optional.
5. I then
finished my brick wall with a rub of Patina Anticante and I now had a vision of
my finished project.
6. I made
some clay moulds, using a terracotta colour. I decided to use leaves, flowers
and a little bird.
7. After the
clay dried, I added some of my Patina paste to highlight the detail.
To finish,
the fun part begins.,
I had some
49Market Acetate leaves from Denise so I used a few of them & I glued these
first and then I secured the moulds with Helmar 450 glue. The glue also gave me
time to tuck under some dried ferns and nesting material, some artificial
blackberries etc., use whatever is in your stash or garden.
I finished
by adding a photo into a little frame. I then made a little envelope and placed
it under the frame for some extra dimension. I finished with some wording and a
paper butterfly.
After I had
everything in place, I used just a little hot glue under the moulds & the
little frame to secure it all.
