Totally Gorjuss #242 - 'PINK & GREEN'

This weeks theme at Totally Gorjuss is 'PINK & GREEN'. simple enough.... pink & green... 
I thought I'd play for this one.

You can check out the challenge here.

I decide to choose lots of goodies from my other Oak House Studios for this one. I am in love with their colour mist sprays at the moment. The colours are fabulous and they colour any kind of medium.

Here is what I created...

I started with a MDF plaque and painted it with a couple of coats of gesso.

I sprayed the white gesso-ed background with 'peacock green' and 'paris pink' colour mists from Oak house Studio to create this gorgeous, bright colourful background. 

I stamped the 'english garden words' in black ink and the 'ATC linen' stamp in 'wine' colour chemistry ink on to a cosmetic tissue. 

I applied bees wax from the melting pot to adhere the stamped images on tissue to the MDF. Then went around the edges with the wax to create some texture.

I stamped the daisy from the 'double daisy' stamp set on to thin white card and sprayed it with the same coloured sprays. I added wax to give it a vintage look. 

To finish, I added three buttons made from green coloured UTEE to the corner and added some dyed ribbon to hand the plaque.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peep, I kindly appreciate and crafty comments you wish to leave me.

Toodles for now...

Mother's Day Plaque

Hi folks!! I recently showed you the car I made for Mother's Day this year. I also made my mum a MDF plaque.

Here it is... 

I used a selection of Visible Image stamps and had a play with the melting pot for this project.

The Visible Image stamps I used were the Plaid Background, Grunge Polka Dot background, the rose from the Isabella Lost Love Set and the Large Butterfly.

I sanded a MDF plaque and gave it a coat of gesso then painted it with neutral emulsion paint. 

I stamped the Plaid and Grunge Polka Dot stamps directly on the MDF and stamped the rose from the Isabella Lost Love set and Butterfly stamp on to cosmetic tissue. 

I placed the roses and butterflies on to the plaque and painted bees wax over the top and then painted the entire plaque with the wax. I then brushed the front with Mica Powder to give the wax a shine. 

I printed the sentiment out on to white card, cut it in to sections and inked around the edges. I dipped the card in to clear UTEE in the melting pot and left to dry. 

I die cut some flowers using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die on to patterned paper, layered them and added black glitter to the centres of the flowers. ]

I added the sentiment sections and a metal butterfly embellishment. To finish, I added some black paint around the edge of the plaque and threaded some jute string to the top. 

Thanks for popping along today.
