No 1 daddy

Helloooo, and a Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful Dads out there. This is what I made for David from us lot in the Hanson household. A papier mache 3 dimensional heart, altered with paints, crackle medium, grunge paste, chipboard number and epoxy letters, all treated with acrylic paint and some Washi tape.
The star has been made by using PaperArtsy Grunge paste through a star shape stencil onto plastic packaging. When dried peeled off and stuck two back to back then painted with Fresco and Eco green paints. The texture from the Grunge Paste( which I love the stuff) and silver paint has given it a faux oldy metal look. The mask I used is the Harlequin Stencil from Imagination Crafts.  
I will say this, whilst making this, everything that could go wrong, did and it was done over a few times before even getting to decorate it. Seriously if it had been just a project it would have taken a long trip up the alley, but knowing I was making for my David, who is a wonderful Daddy and the best partner, I persevered and hope he likes it now. and a prayer for my Dad who is in Heaven.
Have a great day whatever you do.
Happy Crafting
Luv Dawn
