Today’s
project features the wonderful That’s Crafty! greyboard embellishments (Bits
and Pieces) to decorate an MDF upright. These butterflies and the wildflower
both come from the small wildflowers set.
I
started with the MDF upright – this is the dinky size with the decorative top.
I gave it coat of DecoArt Crackle paint and once dry sealed with matt medium.
I added washes of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics (Burnt Sienna and a little
Burnt Umber) before stamping with the stone background stamp from Tim Holtz
(perfect size for the dinky upright!). I added touches of paint to a few of the
stones and a few splatters or watery white gesso.
I selected the
greyboard pieces I was going to use and sponged gesso over them before adding
green paint to the stalks and butterflies. Once dry I added That’s Crafty! Shimmer Paint in Dark Blue over the flowers and butterflies before adding
highlights with the Molotow Chrome pen.
A little edging
of the upright frame and a metallic sticker to finish!
