It’s Fliss here today and I’m thrilled to bits to be able to share one of my samples with you, ahead of the TV shows. I really loved creating all of my samples as the new goodies are just amazing and I can’t wait for you to see them, as I know you’ll love them as I do.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Clear Stamp Sets – Lynne’s Affirmations Set 6, Motivational Words Set 2
That’s Crafty! Multi Surface Paints – Bright Magenta, Evergreen, Violet, Metallic Gold
Recipe:
I
was inspired to make my art panel by a stitched crazy quilt that I saw on
Pinterest. The colours were so rich that I immediately thought of sari silk and
wanted to recreate the effect.
I
cut 3 strips of white tissue paper each about half the width of the
white/greyboard panel to make sure that I had enough to cover the panel when
torn up. I then painted each of the strips with one of the gorgeous new bright
colours of multi surface paint and left them to dry thoroughly.
The
violet painted paper was stamped with the flower from the Lynne’s Affirmations
set using clear embossing ink and heat embossed them with gold powder. The
magenta paper was stencilled with the daisy background using the gold paint and
the green paper was stencilled with gold using the doily background stencil.
I
tore the decorated tissue into strips and then glued them onto the panel with
the matte medium. Once the panel was dry, I trimmed off the excess.
I
dry embossed a large greyboard butterfly with a flourish style embossing folder
and painted it gold. I then painted a large circle (one of the inner pieces
from a greyboard clock) gold and once dry, stamped on the believe text from the
motivational words. I glued both embellishments to my panel to finish.
In
addition to the very exciting TV news, we also have a fab new challenge for you
