Hi
there, this week I’m sharing the ATC holder that I created for the recent
Hochanda shows and it’s in my bright and zingy style using my favourite Dinky
Stencil.
Ingredients:
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Acrylic Paints – Haystack, Pumpkin Soup, Tango, Yellow
Submarine, Lavender
Recipe:
As
with my Brusho Crystal holder I started with the base as it wouldn’t be seen
unless upended and enabled me to be happy with the effect before embarking on
the rest.
I
sponged the base with the 2 shades of yellow paints and allowed this to dry.
Whilst it was drying, I cut a strip of thick card and die cut 2 circles in it,
slightly larger than the largest bubble in the stencil.
I
used the homemade stencil and the bubbles stencil with the 2 shades of orange
paint and the lighter yellow to add a bubble pattern all over the painted base.
Once
the paint was dry, I stamped the dotty border round the edges using the
hydrangea ink. I also swiped on a little of the lavender paint to draw all the
elements together.
As
I was now happy with my decorated base, I repeated the painting, stencilling
and stamping on the remaining elements on both sides and happily they’re all a
lot smaller and didn’t take very long at all.
Once
all the pieces have been decorated, glue them together with some strong glue.
As
you see, it’s a lot easier than you might think to create a lovely storage box
for your treasured ATCs.
Have
a great weekend and see you next week.
