It is testament to the quality of That’s Crafty! MDF
Alterable Surfaces that no matter the media thrown, there is no warping!
One of my favourite Alterables, an MDF heart makes
an appearance. I hold my hands up… I am head over heels for those MDF
hearts. I’m sure they will continue to
make an appearance long after Valentine’s Day!
Supplies
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils:– Hearts and Long Heart Background
Staz-on Timber Brown
Distress Stain Spray – Hickory
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish:- Vintage Lace, Nougat,
Blush, London
Extras:- Pearl beads, rusty wire, resin corner,
Darkroom Door Photobooth (substitute with vintage photo or Idea-ology
Photobooth), fabric scrap, vintage lace scrap
Instructions
Apply Gesso followed with Grungepaste to MDF
panel. Then apply clear texture paste
with heart stencil to right side of panel. Leave to dry. Once dry, apply
paints and Distress Stain Sprays, highlighting stencilled hearts with Black
Soot paint. Randomly stamp Messy Writing
before laying panel aside for the moment.
Apply clear embossing paste and Long Hearts
Background stencil to MDF heart. Leave
to dry. Apply paints and stains to
heart, edging with Black Soot. Wrap
heart with rusty wire, attaching pearl beads.
For the MDF ATC with frame. Once again, apply Gesso. Create a distressed appearance on both pieces
with Grunge Paste followed by paints. Onto the frame stamp Messy Writing and on the panel stamp Forever with
Potting Soil.
Distress a Photobooth image (or substitute) then
begin to create a composition. Tie a
piece of fabric to the frame before layering with the vintage lace scrap,
prepared heart and Photobooth image. Adhere resin corner embellishment to the Forever panel. Wrap bottom edge of panel with rusty wire,
attach a pearl bead, coiling the wire around the bead. Adhere more beads to the panel. Finally
adhere Chit Chat stickers.
Until next time,

ReplyDeleteLovely piece, full of the most wonderful texture! I have been totally won over to all kinds of hearts this year, having rather passed them by in years gone by! I really love the shape now and all the amazing things that can be done with a simple, basic heart substrate as you demonstrate on this exceptional piece. Yes, hearts are definitely not just for Valentine's Day! xx
