So in between nursing duties and looking after Lucy I am trying to add this post!! I wanted to have a play with some more fresco paints..and texture paste and new antiquities stencil..so here is the result not perfect but I did have fun!
I started with a large square arts part and added a layer of iced coffee paperartsy paint, then added some fresco through antiquities stencil...then when dry added more layers of iced coffee and a bit of french roast..
When dry I edged with oxynite and white fire treasure gold..loving this stuff and also highlighted lots of raised areas with it, believe me its yummy stuff!!!
The letters , cut from word play die were sponged with paint and some treasure gold added.
The wing die cuts, well every self respecting heart needs wings were die cut, covered with ferro texture in a rough fashion, then when dry I added white fire treasure gold.
The heart arts part was covered with French roast paint and then I added some crackle glaze, left to dry and then covered with nougat..when dry I edged lightly with walnut stain.
Finally, you know me and wire I added some rusty wire..
I am entering this for the following competitions:
things with wings for anything but a card
new technique for pan pastels challenge
dream for sunday stamper ..a dream is a wish your heart makes.
have a fun and inky one!!!
Absolutely Gorgeous, love the texture x
ReplyDeleteScrumptious texture on those wings, and I love what you've done with the Antiquities stencil (isn't it cool!?). The colours are so soft and dreamy - perfect for the thought behind it - a really beautiful, expressive piece!
