Brought Project #9 for CreativeJumpStart2014 and the
sponsor Cocoa Daisy challenge. Yes this is prolly another long winded post But
hey if ya wanta know how I did it you will just have to read it {not sorry} IF you
dare not know how I did it then just look at the pictures {but still leave
comment love}. I used household items
I got out a fancy scrapbook paper thing that is like a stencil {what I
use it for} I brushed on red and right away laid the fancy paper stencil down and wiped it with
a baby wipe to remove some of the red. Yummy
so then I added a stamped flourish in
sepia ink. Once that was dry I put a dob of white gesso on my pallet coffee
can lid, dipped a bead necklace
in the gesso and dangled that on and off my background. Very fun and not too
terribly messy. When that was dry I cut the background into 4 x 6” pieces
{postcard size}.
I took corrugated
box, die cut hearts from it, tore around the heart and pealed some of the
paper off. Next I used the back of a
scrapbook stack {like cereal box} cut it down so I could dry emboss it before I die cut a
little bird. Next I painted the bird with blue, used my finger to rub on a tiny bit of white gesso. I printed out my
sentiment, cut those out. Inked the edges in black. . .
Happy Art’ing Y’all
