Hello friends...
Welcome to the Little shabby Shed,
Thanks for popping by...
Today the weather has been really mild for February, it is so spring like and makes a lovely change from the cold ….
It has allowed me to get into the shed and to get creative.
As a collector of stuff I always keep packaging from parcels and this is where I started with this make...
As the card was corrugated I started by spritzing off the top layer with water to expose the
corrugated part
Next I added a light coating of gesso, then peeled it away bit by bit.
When the gesso had dried I started to layer colours of oxides to the card,
drying in between.
I then added a sprinkle of Paperartsy Infusions which give a cool grungy look.
I then added a Prima rusty heart, which was the inspiration for this piece
( this one was kindly gifted to me by my good friend igirlzoe...thank you!)
To finish I added some stitching and some words.....
As always please feel free to leave a comment, I appreciate you passing by!
Have a lovely week
Kaz
