Hi Everyone
For this week’s
piece I have been playing with Seth Apter dies to make this wall hanging.
Here’s What I Did:
This piece all started with a piece of black card,
onto that I sponged, using Cut and Dry Foam, a selection of different colours
of Finnabair Impasto paints, I love the thickness of these paints and the
texture that they create. The paints were sponged through a Patti Tolley
stencil. I then went round each piece of the stenciling with a chrome pen.
I then
glued the background card to one of That’s Crafty! 6” x 6” MDF boards and then
trimmed the background to fit. I then used the chrome pen to flick chrome
splatters over the background. I then die cut from black card Seth Apters
‘Starstruck’ die twice and again sponged the Impasto paints onto them.
When the
paints were dry I outlined the dies using a chrome pen, sadly the photo doesn’t
show how shiny the chrome pen is. I then added them to the background off
setting one on top of the other. On top of these I then die cut Seth’s Robo Star, again using black card but this time adding no paint and only adding the
chrome pen outline, this I then added on top. To the centre I stenciled the
word ‘up’ a word from one of Seth stencils.
The piece was finished off with a
sentiment from one of Alison Bombers PaperArtsy stamp sets, stamped in black on
white card, cut out and edged with a black fineliner pen. I finished by adding
a few decorative stars from my stash Just need to hang on the wall now.
Here’s What I Used:
Molotow Liquid Chrome Pens – 2mm & 4mm
Seth Apter Dies – Starstruck & Robo Star
See you next
Tuesday
Love
