Dreamer of Dreams by Donna Gray

Hi
everyone,
Donna
here today with another creation I made for the Hochanda show, using a GiganTAG
….how I love creating on these.
What to do:
I
used the white/greyboard tag for this so you don’t need to apply Gesso (unless
you want to of course), I used an opaque Fresco paint as that does such a good
job of covering everything.
Here’s
where you grab the That’s Crafty! stencils and have fun! The ‘Tina’ stencil had
Grunge Paste spread through it, dried thoroughly and then a coating of shimmer
paint in Pearl was applied.
A
quick couple of spritzes of a Lindy’s Stamp Gang spray was then used, I allowed
the spray to drip down as you can see.
Now
start adding some more stencilling, the black you can see is Distress Ink and
the white is embossing with a white powder, after dabbing a
Versamark ink pad through the stencils.
The
clock and feathers were entirely painted with the new That’s Crafty! Shimmer
and Metallic Paints, these are unbelievable the effects you get with them.
The
middle of the clock was stamped with a That’s Crafty! texture stamp with black Archival
ink.
I got
a great tip from one of my lovely teamies, Tracey, who uses little beads in her
art. These are called nail caviar, I think, and come in all different colours.
These were adhered to the feathers to give even more dimension.
Finishing
touch is to wrap the ribbon around the feathers, with a little glue to keep the
ends in place and then tie them to the rim of the clock. Adhere everything to
the tag and then add a Tim Holtz sentiment.
I
only wish I could capture all the sparkle and shimmer in a photograph!!
Supplies Used:
That’s Crafty! Bits and Pieces Greyboard – Feathers and Clock
Hope
you like it

Great use of the new That's Crafty products, you have really shown how they can all be mixed and matched Donna. Really inspirational, I can see this influencing others to use these elements in exactly the same way. Beautiful GiganTAG..

Gorgeous tag Donna! Xxx
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a dramatic background, and such dreamy elements in the foreground. I love how her hair is floating about in the breeze, echoing the feathers of the dreamcatcher - lovely colours too.
