This
project sees me layering one of the fabulous That’s Crafty! greyboard large
butterflies with one of the smaller Relics & Artifacts resin butterflies.
Supplies
That’s Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard (I use largest panel which I cut to
require size)
Golden
Fluid Acrylic Titanium White
Extras:
Relics & Artifacts Velveteen Flowers, calico, sari ribbon
Instructions
(I like to prepare all white/greyboard surfaces with Gesso but that is purely my own preference)
Apply
Grunge Paste to Arch. Once dry, apply
Infusions, generously misting with water.
Also apply Infusions to white/greyboard panel, cut to required size as
backing for Arch. Leave to dry. Once Infusions are nearly dry, apply Antique
Gold acrylic. My favoured method is
applying with fingertips. Leave to
dry. Once completely dry, apply random
touches of Fluid Acrylic.
Apply
Infusions to greyboard large butterfly and small R&As butterfly.
Once
the greyboard butterfly is dry, repeatedly stamp Affirmation. Doodle around edge of butterfly with
fineliner pen. Layer butterflies,
trapping a scrap of calico, stained with Infusions (I utilize any excess colour
that runs off, collecting onto textiles, papers, etc).
Stamp
Soar from one of the Affirmations onto piece of found paper. Layer to butterfly with another piece of
Infusions stained calico
Adhere
Arch frame to backing before adhering the layered butterflies.
Gather
velveteen flowers into a bundle, tying scrap of Infusions stained calico before
adhering to Arch, layering with scrap piece of stained corrugated
cardboard. Finally, wrap Infusions
stained silk sari ribbon around bottom edge of Arch.
Have
you managed to take a look at the latest additions to the Surfaces Bits and
Pieces Greyboards, lots of new festive related designs.
Wishes
