A gift of love

It's under two month's till Christmas and I wanted to share a little 8x8 canvas of my niece for my mother for Christmas.

Dot Graph

Feathers

The three products I have used, are the gorgeous feathers in chipboard as opposed to MDF, the MDF Dot Graph and the little tile with the word "smile" engraved on it from the Brick Wall pattern - again in chipboard.

I covered the canvas with gesso and then applied some texture paste with a mask.  Once dried I used Cotton Candy Tim Holtz distress stain over the masked area.

For the Dot Grid and Feather I used my White Prima Chalk Ink directly on them and dried with the heat gun.   For the feather I then applied some gel medium and applied some white sugar dust on top.  It has come out so beautiful and shiny.  I just love the white on the feather it looks awesome.

Here is a close of the Dot Grid which I slipped underneath the photo 

A nice simply canvas which is a beautiful gift of love, perfect for a Christmas present.  I hope I have inspired you to create some wonderful gifts.

Paris Paint Palette

Hello everyone, I'm back with another OTP Project for Unique Laser Design to share.  I received this paint palette in a kit I ordered, and decided it would be the perfect project for my daughter's recent trip to Paris.  I asked Shilo to cut me an Eifel Tower out of MDF and am absolutely thrilled with the project.

I have gone with soft tones of pink and green, using some gelato's, mists and gesso.  I first covered the entire palette with Gesso and then added some strips of paper to add texture and then painted it with Gesso again.  Once dried I used some texture paste and a mask to add some more texture and started spraying some mists which I watered down to get that water colour look.

For the dot graph as well as the Eifel Tower I used some Shimmerz Texture Paste to cover the MDF.  It worked so well, I just love the way it came out.



Because I only ordered on of the Dot Graph's I didn't want to use the whole item on one page, I wanted to stretch it as far as I could, because I love it so much, so I cut sections out of it to slip under the photo's.



The Shimmers Texture Paste gave the Eifel tower a nice glimmer, and to finish it off I added some beautiful Prima Flowers and some Sequins.
