Hello friends !
That`s Crafty! has a brand new product,
wonderful to use for little stories, called Chunkies.
This weeks make is such a Chunkie and I think I already fell in love with them!!
They come in a single MDF sheet ready to press out, paint and do with whatever you like!!
This is my first try and had to be with my loved birds and about spring!
First I painted the 6 panels with white, while still in the sheet and when dry, added texture with stencils, one side at a time using the Robin, Cog-Clock and Distressed Harlequin.
After dried I went over with my mix of White and Blue paint, front sides, back, sides and all!
The bird was detailed using tiny amount of Yellow and Black mixed together
and Blue and Black also mixed. Brown was painted onto the stenciled clock figures and white
added as shadows. A postage mark was stamped onto the front. On the back side of the Chunkie, the bird was stenciled, (drawing along the inside lines lines ) too and painted with same tones - the Harlequin pattern was giving shadowed effect using very thinned Brown!!
Time to add my nature finds, from garden and beach, together
with rusted fabrics. You can easily find branches and dried things, even on the streets
now if you don't have a garden yourself.
The eggs were once a gift from a Danish friend but you could make some with Paperclay.
Lastly I stamped two Affirmations from Lynne`s Set 1 and 3 onto
a scratch of paper, also painted with the white/blue mix, cut to fit and adhered to front and back.
I kind of like my first Chunkie and hope you do too.
Thank you for following me all the way and a wonderful new week to you all .
Hugs and love
Dorthe
