For this MDF triptych I wanted to play with texture. It wasn’t until completion, when I stepped back to
wonder if any other little bits of this and that were required that it dawned on
me, surely this colour palette was influenced by Turkish Delight!!! The one smothered in milk chocolate, was a
favourite chocolate bar of myself and my sister, back in the day!
Supplies
Infusions:- Blackcurrant, Violet Storms, Royal Blood,
Black Knight
UHU Glue Stick
Prima Dresden Trim (substitute with die-cut PaperArtsy
Metal Card)
Extras:- Deli wrap, sari ribbon, calico fabric
Instructions
Apply Gesso to all panels followed by Infusions which
were generously misted with water, allowing colours to blend. Stamp LPC stamp onto tissue paper. Tear and adhere to panel with glue
stick. Once dry, stamp Old Town stamp
onto panels, randomly.
Apply clear texture paste through Dinky Stencil, once
again, applying randomly, a favourite way of mine to work. Leave to dry. The clear paste draws the Infusions to it, creating a beautiful effect
but if you prefer to have control over colour, then I wouldn’t advise working
in this way, the results are too unpredictable.
Apply the Infusions to cardstock, sari ribbon, calico
fabric and deli wrap. Once dry, tear and
distress all pieces. Stamp bunting onto the prepared cardstock. Fussy cut, ink edges and adhere to top of
main image. Have fun layering all the other pieces that have been stained.
Finally, to bind the panels, thread stained sari
ribbon through the holes and lastly, roll two pieces of stained calico and
adhere to front panels, to give the impression of door handles.
Until next week when I hope to share another of my MDF
Triptych samples.
Wishes,
