Act I by Lynne Moncrieff

This week I paired a That’s Crafty! MDF heart with a Prima Relic and Artifact.

I was too undecided, will it form a pendant, hanging, become part of a larger project such as a canvas or box so, I decided to let it be as it is, for the moment anyway. Where’s the harm on working on something like this and then letting it drift about for a while, until it either whispers in my ear or screams out loud what it’s eventual purpose will be!

Supplies

(I’ve noted substitutes for the Ice Resin and Dresden Trim) 

Prima Relics and Artifacts - Rising Spirit I

PaperArtsy Stamp Set LPC006

Prima Finnabair Clear Stamp Messy Writing

That’s Crafty! Surfaces MDF Heart

Gesso

Gel Medium

PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Paint - Claret, Moonlight,  Old Gold, Metallic Glaze

Martha Stewart Metallic Acrylic Paint – Pure Platinum

Distress Stain Spray – Picket Fence

Memento Tuxedo Black

White Cardstock

Heat Gun

Paintbrush

*DecoArt Media Liquid Glass

Extras:-

ornate wooden frame, Prima Relics and Artifacts Dresden Trim Silver Scallop and Fleur - substitute with die cut painted with Pure Platinum

Note:- I worked with Ice Resin to encase the focal image but you could achieve similar results with DecoArt Media Liquid Glass. When I’ve worked with *Liquid Glass, my preference, to take the time to work in thin layers. It’s more time consuming but I’ve found the results lead to more clarity. 

Instructions

Apply Gesso to MDF heart and frame, followed with the paints. Apply the same paints to the Relic and Artifact. 

Randomly stamp the Messy Writing onto heart and frame followed with Metallic Glaze.

Mist all elements with Picket Fence.

Apply Claret and Moonlight to cardstock scrap. Stamp the Lynne Perrella image. Adhere to frame. Fill recess with Ice Resin or Liquid Glass. Leave to cure. 

Adhere frame and Relic and Artifact to heart. Trim with Dresden Trim or die cut. 

Until next time,

Lynne
