Another Hochanda sample - this time an MDF tag that was very quick and simple to do.

First I gessoed the tag and when it was dry, I sprinkled Rainbow Color at the top of the tag, sprayed with water and then moved the tag around so the Rainbow Color dripped to the bottom. I dried each colour before doing the next, as I didn't want the colours to 'muddy' too much.

I painted the chipboard word with black gesso and glued it to the tag and I coloured some tea bag paper with Rainbow Colors - I love using the Rainbow Colors on tea bag paper, as it absorbs the colour so well. Finally, I shredded the end of the tea bag paper with some scissors and tied to the tag.

I first painted all the MDF pieces for the shadow box with Bright Magenta paint and when this was dry, I stamped what would be the inside edges with the Script stamp. I then assembled the shadow box and left to dry.

Taking a sheet of the 12x12 Aqua Flora paper, I stamped the Scrip stamp randomly on the sheet and then Light Texture Paste was scrapped through the Roses stencil. When this was dry, I sprinkled over some Rainbow Color, spritzed with some water and then moved the paper around so I got some nice runs with the Rainbow Color.

I stamped the long border stamp from the Numbers set twice on the upper part of the paper to form a half frame, this was then embossed with white embossing powder. I added some collage paper to the Aqua Flora paper too.

I then covered a greyboard ATC with a piece from the co-ordinating 6x6 Aqua Flora paper pad and stamped with the Script stamp. I added some white splashes by tapping a Posca pen over the top.

The long chipboard pieces are the waste from the Aqua Flora chipboard sheet and the ends were dipped into watered down Rainbow Color. As this is beermat board, it sucks up the Rainbow Color, sort of like a wick, if that makes sense? Anyway, it gives a great effect and using a paint brush I dotted on some watered down Rainbow Color to the other pieces of chipboard. The word 'Imagine' was left plain.

I then added all my pieces to the greyboard ATC, using the metal butterfly as the finishing touch and then the finished ATC was glued into place on the 12x12 sheet. When this was all dry, I finally glued the finished sheet onto the inside of the shadow box and then added the word 'Imagine' using silicone glue.

Another Hochanda sample and this time a very quick and simple make, using a That's Crafty! MDF Chunkie as my base.

Firstly, I constructed the Chunkie using That's Crafty! Multi Purpose Glue and then I painted the whole Chunkie with black gesso.

Next, I scraped texture paste through the 13Arts Script stencil and when it was dry, I painted out a largish circle in black gesso and then painted over this with the Lilac Sparklers Spray (it doesn't show up very well in the picture unfortunately).

All the chipboard pieces were painted with Rainbow Color and the word 'Believe' has a top coat of 3D Gel on it too. To get the circles lighter on the round piece of chipboard, I just painted over them with a wet paint brush and dabbed off with a piece of kitchen roll.
