Hi Everyone! I'm here to start getting you in the
mood for Valentine's Day, with a very heartsy plaque.
Here's what I used...
Dina Wakley Media Acrylic Paint - Turquoise, Lime,
Orange, Magenta
Dina Wakley Media Stamps - Collaged Hearts,
Silhouette Women
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Hearts, Large
Circles Background
Bubble Wrap, corrugated card, textured table
protector, foam fruit tray
Here's what I did...
1. I began by priming the MDF panel with white
gesso, then used the round Gelli Plate, paints, and various textures to create
the background.
2. I stamped the Silhouette Woman onto white
tissue, tore around the image, then used gel medium to adhere her to the panel.
I painted the heart on her dress with magenta.
3. I used DecoArt Crackle Paste to stencil the
circles and hearts, then once dry, I outlined them with a black pen, and rubbed
gold gilding wax over the top.
4. The two MDF hearts were primed with white gesso,
painted with magenta, then DecoArt Crackle Glaze was painted over the top. Once
this was dry, I rubbed DecoArt black antiquing cream in, allowed it to dry,
then wiped it back with a baby wipe. I sponged the edges of the hearts with
black ink then glued them to the panel.
5. I stamped the quote onto white card, cut it out,
sponged the edges with black ink, then glued it in place. I added some Glossy
Accents over the top of the quote and the heart on the woman's dress.
6. To finish, I sponged black ink around the edges
of the panel.
Have a creative day,
Alison x
