Amazing Autumn by Donna Gray

11:00


Hi everyone,


Donna here today featuring an Autumnal wreath with the new yummy products from That’s Crafty! which were featured on Hochanda last Friday.








What I did:


Depending on what sort of paints you are using, you may need to give the MDF wreath a coat of Gesso but as I was using chalk paints on it I didn’t need to do that step. 

After painting the wreath and thoroughly drying it, I then used a crackle texture stamp from That’s Crafty! and stamped all around the wreath in brown Archival ink to give a worn look.

Next step was to bring the greyboard embellishments to life with a mixture of chalk paints and the new That’s Crafty! paints which are lush and truly multi surface too.

A bit of doodling with my favourite white Posca pen and then I adhered everything to the wreath with glue. Add some twine and buttons for a finishing touch, with a Sari ribbon and Raffia to hang the wreath from.

A Tim Holtz sentiment completes the creation. I just about got this photo taken before it had to be quickly removed for it’s own ‘safety’ from wandering teeth and claws!!



Supplies Used:



  
Hope you like it

  2. Beautiful autumn colors on your leaves, and love the stamped texture on the wreath, Donna. Your toadstool is just fabulous painted, like a real Amanita , and the twine adds extra gorgeous rustic feeling to it.
    Hihi, you need to have a nail, for photo taking, somewhere safe :-)
