What I Did:

I used one of the MDF 4.5 x 9 x1.5 inches Chunkies for this which have two press out holes so you can choose to have it hanging in landscape or portrait mode. For this though I decided I wanted to decorate the 'back' so I didn't press the holes out and chose to have it freestanding instead so it can be turned around when I fancy a change of image!

I kept all the pieces in their push out frame as I find it easier to paint them that way. I gave them all a coat of the black That's Crafty! Gesso as I wanted black for my base as I think it makes all the other colours I added later pop.

I used a mixture of Fresco paints in mainly pink, blue, green and white and just added them randomly with my fingers, mainly around the edges of the pieces and then I added a little bit of paint to the middles of the Chunkies as that's where I wanted the main image to be.

Now when I went to decorate all the pieces I just had fun and added doodling and some of my hand carved stamps as I went along. I used a mixture of Posca pens for my doodling as they give a lovely strong opaque finish which is what I wanted for this. 

Once I was satisfied that it was finished I glued all the pieces together using a That's Crafty! adhesive and left to one side to dry thoroughly.

This is the way I decorated mine but of course when you do yours you can use your own stamps for it and stencils etc, anything goes of course!!

I just love these Chunkies as the possibilities are endless and you get a choice whether you want to hang it on your wall or have it freestanding....clever huh?!
