Hi everyone,
Nikki here with another project featuring the new That’s Crafty! products
launched recently. This design is a 6x6 inch white/greyboard panel.
For this design I
prepared the surface of the panel and the greyboard embellishments by stippling
thick gesso over the surface – to create texture. I also scratched into the
wings with my craft knife. Then, as I have done before, I began sponging the
That’s Crafty! Shimmer paints onto the surfaces.
Base – Turquoise and Copper
Edge – Black
(chalk paint), Red and Orange Shimmer paints
Clock –
Aquamarine and Copper
Wings – I blended
Dark Blue with Red at the edges and also added a little black and orange.
These
embellishments really are fabulous for altering and painting!
Happy crafting!
Nikki

Great techniques Nikki, it's a good feeling when you find a way to cover a project which you know will produce the effect you wanted. I can see how tactile it is and your colour combo is a real winner!! Thanks for the inspiration.. Hugs Tracey xx
ReplyDeleteWow, Nikki, I love it, -the mix of paints and colors gives such beautiful tones, and the texture from gesso is gorgeous, and the sponging of paint gives a soft lovely interaction between the colors.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful inspirational piece. Dorthe, xx
