If I had a Flower by Amanda Southern

Hi Everyone
I’ve been playing again with my favourite, That’s Crafty! MDF board
which is the 9” x 4.5” piece.
which is the 9” x 4.5” piece.
Here’s What I Did:
First
thing to do is give the MDF a light coating of gesso, I do this using a piece
of Cut and Dry Foam to avoid it not only going on to thick but also avoids
brush strokes remaining.
One that is dry I then blended, in stripes, 3 colours
of Dylusions paints using a wide flat paint brush. Using 3 colours actually
creates a finish of 5 colours as the colours blend beautifully where they
overlap each other (lime into the teal and pink into the teal).
I then
stamped onto the board using the flowers, the centre of the flowers come empty
put you can stamp into them using an available coordinating stamp set, which I
have done. I then painted out the background with black paint, I used
PaperArtsy Little Black Dress paint for that as I wanted a totally matte finish. To
finish the flowers I highlighted parts of the flowers using a white paint pen.
The
last touch was to add the sentiment which I heat embossed, to ensure I got a
crisp finish I first tap over the area with the anti -static bag before
stamping and embossing it.
What I Used:
Dylusions Paints - Bubblegum Pink, Calypso Teal & Fresh Lime
Carabelle Studio Stamps - Flower Garden, Flower and Borders & Round and Round
White Paint Pen – Dylusions or Posca or similar
Heat Gun
Thanks and see you all next Tuesday
