Love ….. Hearts! by Lynne Moncrieff
00:00
In recent weeks I’ve shared a few posts featuring
That’s Crafty! Surfaces MDF hearts and this week, one makes an
appearance again. They have become indispensable for me. For this week I’ve teamed the MDF heart up
with other hearts and also one of the heart Dinky Stencils for this
distressed/grungy but ultimately, romantic collage.
Supplies
Distress Stain Spray:- Picket Fence, Hickory
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish:- French Roast, Claret, London
Old Rolling Pin or Clay Tools
Extras:- Lace, heart MOP button, vintage image (I
used a Darkroom Door photobooth but you could substitute with Idea-ology photo
booths or your own vintage photo) wooden frame and large wooden heart
Instructions
Large Wooden Heart:- Apply hearts Dinky Stencil to large wooden heart with
Grunge Paste. Once dry, randomly swipe
Grunge Paste onto the heart. Again,
leaving to dry before applying Blush, Vintage Lace and Sherbert. Once dry apply Claret and French Roast,
focusing on the edges. Mist generously
with water allowing to drip down the heart.
Mist with Hickory
Paperclay Heart:- Roll to
required thickness. Stamp heart
(Carabelle Studio) into the paperclay. Roll a smaller piece of paperclay, this time stamping one of the script
elements from PaperArtsy LPC030. Immediately wash stamps afterwards. Leave the paperclay elements to dry.
Once dry, paint with Claret and a touch of French
Roast. Mist with Picket Fence and ink
edges.
MDF Heart:- Apply
Gesso followed with Claret, London Fog and French Roast. Mist with Hickory
Wooden Frame:- Paint the
frame followed by stamping the Messy Writing. Apply Liquid Glass. Once dry,
adhere frame to photobooth image.
Assembling & Final Touches:- Cluster the hearts and frame, adhering to the large wooden heart with
Gel Medium. Add a scrap of lace and MOP
button to the MDF heart. Finally, apply
Vintage Lace and Claret to a scrap of cardstock. Once dry stamp sentiment, inking edges. Gently curve before adhering to the collage.
I decided not to paint the rope handle but at the
same time, I allowed it to get messy with the paints and sprays, adding to the
distressed/grungy appearance of the collage.
Until next time,
Lynne
