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
