Hello everyone!
Welcome back to Our Creative Corner....Laura here with the final Spotlight of the month!
Tando Creative
is our generous sponsor this month and today I will be showing you
something I have made with one of their gorgeous chipboard sets....
I chose to use the Heart Cog Pendant
And I decided to make my first ever chunky ATC !
I made the Chunky ATC from balsa wood and smothered it in texture paste
I smoothed out some areas and patted others with the palette knife to get a rough texture effect
Then when it was dry I painted it with Nougat Fresco paint and when that was dry I blended some Walnut Stain DI all over it.
The Tando heart was covered in text paper and inked with Antique Linen DI and then had Decoart one step crackle applied. This was then inked over with Walnut Stain DI to enhance the crackle effect.
The cogs were painted with Old Gold Fresco Paint then covered with crackle glaze. When this was dry I added a few layers of Decoart Media Antiquing cream in Patina Green and English Red Oxide. When dry I dabbed the excess away with a baby wipe. I then dry brushed a mix of Bora Bora and Guacamole Fresco paint over the top.
The tiny flowers are die cuts painted with Guacamole Fresco paint and edged with Vintage Photo DI. Decoart one step crackle was applied and a bronze brad was added to the centers
A strip of card was inked with Evergreen Bough and Vintage Photo Distress inks and a chit chat sticker was added. A small brass key was attached to the card.
I added various other embellishments too
Around the Chunky ATC I added strips of tissue tape, some script stamp and butterfly stamps
I stamped the butterfly onto card, inked with Evergreen Bough and Vintage Photo DI's and then cut it out. I stuck the butterfly onto one of the cogs.
Hope you like it!
