Thin Cut Dies and Irregular Dots

Hello lovelies!! I'm here with my latest creation for the Itsy Bitsy Design Team.

And all I can say is WOW!! Itsy Bitsy have done it again! They have released 15 new designs of Little Birdie Thin Cut Dies and I have been playing with the Embellished Boot set. In this set, along with the gorgeous embellished boot, comes a lovely selection of leaves and flowers.

And here is what I did...

So, first of all I added a thick layer of 2 in 1 Mixed Media paste through the Irregular Dots stencil.

When the Mixed Media Paste had dried I painted it with Sand Stone Chalk Paint. (I love watching the Little Birdie Chalk Paint change colour as it dries, which is why I prefer to let it air dry.)

When the Mixed Media Paste had dried, I sprayed Mocha Colour Spray over the top, adding the majority of the colour on the bottom left corner. And then adding a light spritz of Gold Nugget Alcohol Splash over the top.

While the Alcohol Splash was drying, I painted a separate piece of card with Wasabi Chalk Paint and gave it a light spray of the Mocha Colour Splash.

I used this piece of card to cut the leaves using the thin cut dies.

I also added some colour to a piece of crochet lace.

I added some stamping over the background using a distressed checkered stamp and brown ink.

I added the lace to the background, some lengths of burlap ribbon and some of the Little Birdie brown assorted flowers. Then added the green die cut leaves to add some colour.
