Make A Wish by Lynne Moncrieff

Hello,
this week I am sharing a project which was a sample made for That’s Crafty’s
recent HOCHANDA appearance. This was my first time playing with Rubber Dance
stamps, the Textured Flowers.
Supplies
That’s Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard Panels (including ATC size)
That’s Crafty! Metallic Paints: Antique Gold, Pearl
Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics: Blush, Blue Oyster, Antarctic
Charcoal
Old Credit Card
Extras:
Collage Image (Redlead Paperworks), Teabag, Black Sewing Thread
Instructions
I like
to paint the white side of the white/greyboard panels with Gesso but that is
just me with my funny quirks! The ATC
size panel and greyboard butterfly were also painted with Gesso.
All
three Frescos were applied to the above, working quickly to create
texture. Onto the panels, the pretty
Pearl metallic paint was applied in the same manner as the Frescos followed by dipping
paintbrush into Antique Gold metallic, creating clusters of small dots.
A
Texture Flower was stamped onto both panels. Knowing I would be adding a child, I decided to elongate the flowers. To do this, I simply extended the stems with
a Sharpie fineliner pen, adding stamped leaves. Near the bottom of the panel, small flower head was stamped with stems
and leaves doodled. Stars were also stamped.
The ATC
panel was adhered to main panel. White
paint pen dots were added to all flowers. For the butterfly, Frescos were applied before stamping doodled circles
at an angle, again adding white dots. Charcoal was applied to edge of butterfly and smudged. An Affirmation was stamped onto a piece of
tea bag paper. This was attached to
threads which were wrapped around centre of butterfly. Gel Medium adheres the
threads to back of butterfly, before adhering to panel. Affirmation and threads flow freely.
Fussy
cut collage image, before adhering to bottom edge of panel. Edge image with charcoal, smudging to create
shadow.
Until
next time,
Wishes
Lynne
