Just a quick post...I have been playing around this morning before getting ready for work. I had a go at Frances project on day 1 over on the PA blog. You can see it here.
I took a size 8 tag and gave it a thin coat of blood orange, dried that and added a thin coat of crackle glaze, dried that and added a layer of snowflake. I distressed the edges and added a small amount of black ink.
Next I cut two paper artsy primitive hearts and stuck them together, added a thick layer of grunge paste and pushed a chain into it....let that all dry. I painted it in london bus and when that was dry sanded it back to reveal some of the grunge paste underneath. I gave it 2 coats of gloss glaze and let that dry.
To finish it off I wrapped some chain around and added a tiny padlock and key from my stash..stuck it to the tag and added some black ribbon.
Thanks for stopping by......

ReplyDeleteWow this is gorgeous Lin, I love your heart and the added touch of the lock is fantastic. I'm so loving the sentiment Love stamp, do you mind me asking where you got it from? Mind you some of my sentiment stamps I use are so old they probably not made any more lol. Kezzy :-) xxx
