Good morning folks, and a big warm welcome to my lovely new followers! Sunday morning so its time for a new challenge at Premium Craft Brands PanPastel Challenge and as always there is a fab prize for our lucky winner from our generous sponsor Berni at Your Creativity Store. This time around out theme is 'Frame it', if you've got a min do pop over and check out my teamies gorgeous artwork, they are such a talented bunch!
For my DT project I took an old MDF clock blank that I'd started working on but looked awful, it had been sat in the corner of my craft room for ages looking really sorry for itself so I decided to see if I could save it. I got to work with Maimeri Light Modelling Paste and a palette knife, spreading it liberally all over and then creating some texture with the edge of the palette knife to create the effect of wood (hopefully lol). Once it was dry I added some colour with PanPastels and watered down gesso.
The little scene was created with stamps from Sheena Douglass and coloured with PanPastels, I just love sea themed stamps! I used a white Graph'It Shake pen for the fence
The fishing next at the back of the frame is from Joanna Sheen, attached with my hot glue gun - omg I always get in such a mess when I use hot glue lol. I've added some shells from my stash and stamped some text to create a little message and popped in in a bottle.
I'm entering this in the following challenges:
Altered Eclecctics: alter something
Crafts 4 Eternity: texture
Rhedd's Creative Spirit: altered art
Rhedd and Rosie's: anything but a card
Thanks for visiting today, have a lovely day and hope to see you again soon
