Dream Big - 3Quarter Design - Sunset Journal

Image
3Quarter Design Sunset Journal Collection Mini project- Dream Big Laugh alot        3quarterdesigns -Sunset Journal The ingredients  3Quarter Design Sunset Journal Collection This mini blackboard has been altered with lots of fussy cutting abs flowers from this range. I started by using a stencil and modelling paste. I used some orange watercolour to colour the paste. The collage came together by pasting all the fussy cut pieces together from sunset journal collection.     I have used a range of gems, embellishments like copper key, acrylic light bulb, buttons, lace, glass dew drops and flowers to create some dimension in the piece.  I’ve enjoying whipping up this little gem tonight minus the photos. Quite a vintage collection this one. So fun to work with. Enjoy a craft weekend...... Mel x The Twilight Scrapper

They are soft and flowy and they are really feminine. I chose a black and white photo because I didn't want to add colour's to this palette.  I used Vicki Boutin water colour aqua and green to draw some curves which I cut out and they were placed under the floral spray. I cut a paper plate size circle from the lemon craft paper then I inked the edge. I painted the polystyrene circle in a mixed of green and blue acrylic and sponged it. The front of the styrene is covered and stencilled with watered down teal acrylic paint an...
