It’s that easy! The winners will be picked at random on Tuesday 2nd May 2017.

It's Day 4 of our collaboration with the Relics and Artifacts Ambassadors and it's Nikki's turn today with a really beautiful project. 


Hi everyone. I was so excited to be able to play with some Relics and Artifacts products for this week’s collaboration. I selected one of the Flaming Hearts (which are in a number of kits) and added some Dresden Trim in Gold and some Peridot Bohemian Jewels. My That’s Crafty! Surface is the main oblong from the rectangle kit. It is designed to be used in the landscape formation but I turned it around for this project.


You can probably spot some Finnabair influence here… I have recently attended a Finn workshop so it was great to use her style to create this project.






I began by painting the surface with black gesso and then adding some patterned paper. I ended up covering most of this – although that wasn’t the original plan! I also added some additional stamping with That’s Crafty! Texture stamps.

I then began my arrangement of objects – with the Flaming Heart as the focal point. There is a combination of metal pieces, buttons and paper flowers. These were all adhered with Finnabair’s 3D Matte Gel. I left this to dry overnight and then painted the outside border and ephemera with black gesso.






Once dry I took my Prima Art Alchemy Metallique paints and began painting – blending the colours until I was happy. I added some gilding wax over some of the textured surfaces ad added one more Peridot Bohemian Jewel on the heart.


It’s my That’s Crafty! team mate Lynnes turn over on the Relics and Artifacts blog today. Please hop over to see her fantastic project.
