SDD DT Project - Primary Colours

 

Hiya crafty peeps!

 

Its time for this weeks DT project for SDD.
This is my last day hosting the SDD FB page. I have to step down due to work commitments.
  I have done other future projects that will still be blogged for the DT on relevant days...

 

I was given a green background & a yellow arrow to work with this week...

You can find them here.

 

I came up with this >

 

 

I used a mixture of Hey Pesto & Pumpkin Soup Fresco Paints through my brick stencil, sprinkled it with Clear Fine Embossing Powder & heated it. It gives a lovely texture!

I first saw this technique here.

Give it a go! It's now my preferred way of embossing!

I used a Black Fineliner & a White POSCO pen to doodle & finish it off.

You can join the SDD FB Group here.

 

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamping Dragons Design DT Project - Friends

Hiya crafty peeps!

This is my first project for Stamping Dragon Designs DT!

Over on the SDD FB Group some ladies were discussing  The Gelli Plate.

I decided to use a very similar technique for my inspiration make.

 

I don't own a Gelli Plate. I use a glass worktop saver/cutting board.

You could use a piece of acetate or a laminated placemat etc.

As long as its a wipeable, smooth surface! Please don't use it for food once it's been used for craft... We don't want poorly peeps!

You will also need a speedball brayer & acrylic paint.

 

 

 

I used Fresco Paints in opaque colours: Pansy, Sky, Rose & Cheesecake.

 

 

I squirted them onto my glass board & then used my speedball brayer to smooth the paint all

over the board.

 

 

I then used sequin waste, stencils & stamped into the paint.

 

 

I also used an old washi tape roll!

 

 

Voila! Background complete!

 

 

I would usually stamp onto my background with inks & stamps but this time I used

Friends digi stamp by Stamping Dragon Designs.

How did I do it?

Well once dry, I put my background paper through my printer.

I then went over it with a quickie glue pen & heat embossed it with Black Embossing Powder.

I then filled the flower & leaves in with Translucent Frescos: Beach Hut & Hey Pesto. I also used some Wild Plum Paint Dabber.

 

 

I then coiled some copper wire for the centre of the flower.

I finished it off by gliding Peacock Feathers Distress ink around the edge & drew dashes of copper pen to look like a sewn edge. I mounted it onto craft card.

 

I hope you like it!

Thanks for Stopping by!
