Shabby Chic Heart by Alison Hall
00:00
Hi everyone! It's Alison here
today with a project that I taught at Ally Pally last weekend.
Here's what I used...
Carabelle Studio Stamp Sets - Birgit
Koopsen - Follow Your Heart, Layered Strips
Crop-A-Dile, Book Page, Ribbon,
Paintbrush, Stencil Brush
Instructions...
1. From the heart sampler pack, take
the largest and smallest hearts, then paint them with a base coat of white
gesso.
2. Start painting the hearts with some Tinting Base first, then whilst it's still wet, blend in some Cobalt Teal Hue.
Do this on both hearts until you have a blended pale turquoise colour. I
painted both sides of the large heart, but just the front of the small one. I
added more of the teal paint to the small heart so that it was slightly darker.
3. Use the Potting Soil ink to stamp
parts of the Layered Strip stamp down the left side of the large heart. Then
ink up the Layered Strip again, and press the small heart onto it, to stamp the
part of your choice. I stamped the part with music, sequin waste and a little
bit of mesh. Ink the edges of both hearts with the brown ink, then stamp the
phrase on the top right of the large heart.
4. Stencil the live, love, laugh down
the left side of the large heart with Cobalt Teal Hue. I stencilled it slightly
off the edge and stencilled another heart at the bottom.
5. Paint a book page lightly with
gesso, then die cut a large and small heart. Use Matte Medium to glue in place
on the large heart, then glue the small heart in place, over the large heart
die cut.
6. Punch two holes in the top of the
large heart, then add some ribbon to finish.
Have a creative day,
Alison x

What a fabulous project I bet people really enjoyed making it
ReplyDeleteI really hoped to get to Ally Pally in time to sign up to make this! At least now I have seen the real deal and have some idea of what to do now too! Can I add you to my side bar when I get home? Chrisx
