Art on My Heart by Tracey Fairgrieve


Hello every one I hope your weekend has been a creative one? 

I've been playing again this time with the new Sparkler Sprays new to the That's Crafty! range and as it's Monday i'd like to share my make with you all..

Here in words and pictures is my Art on my Heart..


Using Tim Holtz Distress Oxides I matched colours to the Sparkler Sprays, smooshed the Oxides onto a craft mat and activated using the Sprays. I then mopped up the colours using a That's Crafty! Large Greyboard Heart pushing heavy body gel diagonally through the Random Stones stencil. I then gave the gel a light squirt with the Sparklers sprays.






As you may see the Sparklers spray sits on top but when heated gently with a heat tool the gel seems to absorb and encapsulate the colour. It also changes the shape of the stencilled image distorting it.. a magnificent effect but be careful not to over cook it.

I used Green, Pink and Blue Shimmer paint to build up colour over the whole heart and wiped back using a wet wipe areas of texture I wanted to expose. I repeated this process until I was happy with the colour.






Taken from the Motivational Words Stamp Set 1 the word ART has been stamped and embossed onto the heart as well as the words Don't be afraid which have been masked off to stamp along side each other. Gilding wax has been used along the hearts edge and to define the central texture.






A hand punched hole and some colourful twine has turned my Heart into a hanging one. My Hanging Heart is complete.







Thank you for sharing your time today, I look forward to sharing more of mine with you all same time next week.. Take care, stay safe & have a wonderful week.

Creative Hugs.. Tracey xx
