Hello friends...
Hope you are all good!
Today I wanted to share with you this recent make...
It absolutely threw it down with pouring rain on Saturday, which meant it was a cozy, don't even think about stepping out side, hog the radiator sort of a day....so thats exactly what I did.
I sat at my desk, hogged that radiator and created just for me....
This turned out to be a real mash up of some of my favourite products thrown together....
heres what I created...
I always love to use lots of layers
This make has loads!
I started by using a layer of gesso through the stencil,
when it was dry I painted lots of layers of paint
I used crackle paint for the inside of the pocket watch and filled it with a heart.
The bolts were inspired by Andy skinner, I really love that rust effect...Im addicted!!
I also added some infusions ( be warned you only need a tiny amount)
To finish I mounted the card onto one of my vintage books.
I really got lost in the process of putting this one together
Creating art just for me is so good for the soul....
I think this one is a keeper!
feel free to leave a comment I appreciate each and every one xx
Have yourselves a great week...
