Enchanted Castle by Alison Hall
00:00
Hi Everyone! Alison here today with
another That's Crafty! Triptych. This time it's an MDF Castle.
Here's what I used...
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Paint -
Cadmium Red Hue, Cobalt Teal Hue, Green Gold, Carbon Black, Metallic Gold
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils -
Enchanted, Arrows Background, Circles Background, Quatrefoil 1 Background
Here's what I did...
1. I began by painting both sides
of all three pieces of the triptych with white gesso, then I randomly
brayered them all with Cadmium Red Hue, leaving plenty of white showing.
2. I used Cobalt Teal Hue to stencil
the Quatrefoil 1 Background in a few places, then Green Gold to stencil the Circles Background. I then stencilled the Arrows Background with Gold Metallic.
I finished off my stencilling with some words from the Enchanted stencil, using Carbon Black paint.
3. I added some background stamping
with Finnabair's Messy mini and some diamonds from Femme &
Oiseau with black Archival ink, then stamped the woman onto the
centre piece of the triptych.
4. As the Carabelle stamp is so
detailed, and didn't stamp very well on my painted MDF, I stamped the
woman and bird onto white tissue, cut them out then used matte medium to glue
the woman over the image on the centre triptych piece, and the bird on her
right.
5. I stamped the phrase from Femme
& Oiseau as shown. I've cut up my stamp so that I can split up the lines of
the phrase. I need a bit more practice to get it straight! Lol!
6. To finish, I sponged Gold Metallic
paint around the edges of each triptych piece, then used the silver jump rings
to attach each piece together.
I hope I've inspired you to create some
art today!
