Splat by Amanda Southern

Hi everyone
I would like to share with you this Tuesday one of the
samples that I made for last Thursdays, That’s Crafty!, shows on Hochanda TV on
which That’s Crafty! launched some new fabulous designs in both acrylic and MDF
shapes for you to alter and decorate. If you missed the shows you can still
catch them HERE, show times were 5pm &
9pm just click watch the show to watch these shows.
I have used the fabulous, and my new found favourite,
acrylic Splat and stand.
Here’s What I Did:-
The
first thing is to remove the white protective cover that protects the acrylic.
I first stencilled black texture paste through the Donna Downey stencil and
allowed that to dry fully overnight. On the reverse of the acrylic I then
stencilled Dina Wakley paints through one of Tim Holtz stencils, I used Cut
& Dry Foam to apply the paint. To ensure that I got a really sharp stencil
I taped the stencil down and built the layers of paint up slowly allowing each
layer to dry fully before adding the next colour so that moving the stencil
into a different position didn’t smudge the previous stencilling. So much so I
built these up over a couple of evenings. I also added some stencilling to the
base.
I finish off by adding the same colour paints to an old paintbrush and
added it to the stand. The fact that I have added to the front and the back of
the splat the piece is given some depth.
What I Used:-
That’s Crafty! Surfaces Acrylic Splat Upright from either a pack of 3 or the Mixed Acrylic Pack of 3 Uprights
Black Texture Paste or any other texture paste
Dina Wakley Acrylic Paints – asstd colours
Old Paint Brush
Hope you like it and I’ll see you next Tuesday
Love

ReplyDeleteAmanda, this is so amazing. I cannot get over the clarity of this piece, the crispness of the stenciling - honestly, I could never hope to achieve a stencilled effect as perfect as this!
ReplyDeleteIt is a brilliant creation which I absolutely love. xx
