Good afternoon, here's my latest project I'd like to show you. It's full of different techniques and to write a full description would be an essay, so I'll summarise.
It all started with some challenges in mind as listed below.
Materials used:
Tando Creative Straight Edge Arches Large and Minis - Hearts
Tando Creative Diamond Stencil
Paper Artsy Stamps Young Love 2, Diamond mini, Hotpicks backgrounds
Hero arts stamp, French Script
Eco Green Crafts acrylic paints
White tissue paper
Polyfilla (yes the diy stuff in a tube)used through mask and in mould for rosette centre
Fimo for the cherub,
clay & Martha Stewart butterfly mould for cherub's wings and leaves
Tim Holtz Sizzix rosette die, chipboard flower
Clear UTEE, purple, lilac, Artic Lake utee powders
Melt Pot, heat tool, crop a dile,
Matte medium, Matte gel medium, pinflair glue gel, glossy accents
Buttons, beads, chain, mini metal tag, clear glass heart
I really enjoyed putting this together, using the colours in the Tando challenge. I found embossing the stamped image on the tissue paper made it easier to adhere without tearing. Matt medium gave better results for this over the gel medium. I did play with the utee, making a large thick piece, breaking it up and heating it onto the frame starting with a thinner piece made first acting like a glue. Getting the melt pot out seems liberating as its been a wee while, thanks Hels Sheridan for the spark in the ole brain.
Thanks for popping by today and I really do appreciate your comments.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
