Open Every Door by Alison Hall

Hi Everyone! Alison here today with a fun little
plaque, featuring some of the new That's Crafty! Surfaces.
Here's what I used...
That's Crafty! Surfaces - Grey/White Board - 6x4
inch, Mini Tags
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Honeycomb
Background & Reverse Honeycomb Background
Prima Finnabair Stamp Sets - Dream On, Don't Forget
To Fly
Lindy's Stamp Gang Flat Magical Pigment Powder Set
- Caribbean Cruise
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Paint - Primary
Magenta, Metallic Gold, Payne's Grey
Gilding Wax - GoldWhite Card
Black Pen
Water Spray, Palette Knife, Paintbrush, Blending Foam, Gold Brads
Here's what I did...
1. Prepare the board and tags by painting them with
white gesso.
2. Apply Grunge Paste to the board, using a palette
knife and the Reverse Honeycomb Background Dinky Stencil. Then use the Honeycomb
Background Dinky Stencil to apply some Grunge Paste to the mini tags.
3. Mix a little Caribbean Blue Flat Magicals
pigment powder with water in a spray bottle, then spritz onto the board. Paint
the mini tags with DecoArt Magenta.
4. Apply some gold gilding wax to the Grunge Paste
on the board and tags.
5. Draw some windows on white card with a black
pen, colour with the Caribbean Blue spray, attach to the tags, then apply
Glossy Accents to give a glass effect. Add gold brads to the 'doors', sponge
the edges with Payne's Grey paint, then adhere them to the board.
6. Mix a little Metallic Gold paint into some bead
gel, then use a palette knife to apply this around the doors.
7. Stamp three tiny butterflies and the phrases
onto white card, cut out and colour with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Sponge the
edges with Payne's Grey paint, then adhere to the board.
8. To finish, apply some Payne's Grey paint to the
edges of the board.
Hope you have a creative week,
Alison x

Your little brain just never stops ticking Alison... this is sooooo great. Wow. Sooooooooooooooo... now you really got me thinking. And the answer is... NOPE - don't have the courage to open every door. I looked at your doors - trying to decide WHICH ONE I would open IF I dared. The one on the left has been used the most... see - there is more "wear" in front of it. The one in the center - used very little. So... IF I were to choose - it would probably be the one in the center because there might be more HOPE there if not so many people have tried that one - ehehheheheeh!!!! I KNOW - Crazy thoughts... but hey - you now KNOW that your creation has impacted my thought processes! For today - they will all stay closed though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs. j.
