Good morning folks, its challenge time over at We Love 2 Create and just for a change our theme is 'Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes' so I hope you're going to play along to be in with a chance of winning some gorgeous goodies from Premium Craft Brands. As always my lovely teamies have created some stunning projects so its well worth a visit to the challenge blog.
For my DT project I've altered an MDF Toadstool House (from Dreamees). I really must stop buying MDF and start using it lol,
For my DT project I've altered an MDF Toadstool House (from Dreamees). I really must stop buying MDF and start using it lol,
I began by giving everything a coat of white Gesso and once that was dry I got busy with my PanPastels. The cap of the toadstool was coloured with Permanent Red Tint and Pearlescent Red PanPastels. I applied a good layer of PVA glue where I wanted the spots and then used a mop brush to dust both fine and coarse White Pearlescent mediums over the top. Once it was dry I added some grey PanPastel to create a little shadow.
I coloured the stalk with more Permanent Red Tint, adding a little Burnt Sienna Tint and some more Neutral Grey PanPastel. The greys are fab for adding a bit of depth to colours
I stencilled the door using a Woodgrain stencil and Light Modelling Paste and coloured with shades of brown PanPastels. I added some wired raffia, stamped flowers (Dreamees stamps with Worn Lipstick distess ink) with pearl centres and some bits of dried flowers (again from Dreamees)
