Hello all, I’m so happy to be back
this Monday with my Life Is Wonderful, as nature and weather has behaved very
beautifully this last week.
Inspired by that, I created another
nature piece for my That`s Blogging Crafty sample.
Starting with one of my favorite white/greyboard
panels with rounded corners, I adhered a lovely old piece of cotton velvet with
the Multi Purpose Craft Adhesive, and left to dry. In between I coloured one of
the new beautiful embellishment leaves, using first the gorgeous Metallic Gold
paint and when dry I used the leaf stencil complementing the form of the
embellishment leaf, to add Distress Oxide Antique Linen.
I also added Antique Linen to a
piece of ordinary copy paper and after stamping the gorgeous toadstool from
PaperArtsy Scrapcosy ESC05, fussy cut it out.
Then I used the leaf stencil again but
this time, directly onto the velvet background with white Texture Paste. When
dry, I distress painted it with the Metallic gold and also added a little to
the toadstool .
The toadstool was adhered to the
velvet, standing on a piece of nature bark, from my stash of finding in nature.
It also got a few strokes with the Gold paint. A little lovely embellishment
bird was coloured with Metallic Silver and details were made with Brush Markers
and a black Sharpie.
Life is wonderful was stamped onto the
rest of the Antique Linen coloured copy paper with Archival Ink Coffee and torn
out.
Bird was adhered on top of the toadstool, Walnut
Ink dyed lace adhered to top and button of panel and the leaf adhered on top of
lace in the bottom, the text adhered to the top lace piece.
Lastly I tore pieces from musical paper,
adhered it to right side, added an artificial “bouquet” of berries, Sari Silk placed
through two holes, made with the Crop-A-Dile and strokes of beautiful Gold
paint added here and there on the velvet.
Thank you for following me to the
end of my post, I really treasure your kind comments.
Hugs and love
