Textured Flowers and Something New by Nikki Acton
11:00
Tomorrow sees the next That’s Crafty! Hochanda
show and there are lots of amazing new products being launched. One part of
this launch is some fabulous shimmer / metallic That’s Crafty! paints! Just as
a little sneak peek I have used a few of them on today’s project. Don’t forget
to tune in to Hochanda tomorrow (16th June) at 8am and 2pm to see
all the new products.
All the stamps used on this project are from Rubber Dance – Textured
Flowers. My base is a 6 x 6 inch white/greyboard panel that I gave a coat of
white Fresco paint. I then brayered 2 of the new paint colours – Orange and
Aquamarine to give a slightly shimmery, textured background. I also stamped the
little flower in Archival ink. The edge of the panel was sponged with Copper
paint to frame it.
I took some white card and painted one half with TC Orange shimmer
paint and the other half with Copper and Aquamarine. I stamped the flowers and
cut them out. To frame the flowers I die cut a ring (using to circle/scallop
framelits) and painted it in Aquamarine before using one of the little texture
stamps from the set.
In the corners of the panel I added some little leftover pieces of
greyboard which I also painted with Orange and Aquamarine. Finally I put it all together together and
added some stickles for a little sparkle to add to add the shimmer!
See you next week.
Nikki
