Welcome Back Friends,
Robin here, to share a project with you, I made using a recycled tray, and a digi stamp sponsored by
Ikes Art. Lilacs.
Fall is around corner in my neck of the woods, North East Ohio, however, Happy Craft Challenge Blog is Australia and they are celebrating Spring!
When I received my digi, I knew what I wanted to do! I had just bought a small tray at my favorite second store. I painted it white, sanded some of the edges and then went to work on my lilacs. Using a sponge blender pad, I applied DO ink -Wilted Violet and blended it out, peeled paint on the leaves, and then went back in with both colors and created some shading. After that was dry, I spritz it several times using a fine mist sprayer and allowed the ink to oxide and also picked up ink with a dry baby wipe to add some texture. I then fussy cut the piece out And set it aside. I wanted more texture to the try so I used a crackled stencil and DO Antique Linen and stenciled the bottom of the tray. While my tray was drying, I inked the canvas flowers I had in my stash with Wilted Violet, I used a stiff short bristle paint brush, which seemed to do the trick. The wonderful butterfly was die cut from fun foam and I added glitter for a little shimmer. I then began putting my piece together. Lastly I stamped the sentiment for a finishing touch.
What is your favorite flower, flowering shrub, or flowering tree in Spring?
