Hi everyone!
It is Sponsor Spotlight time again here at Our Creative Corner!
Our Sponsor this month is
For this creation I used some of their gorgeous leaf sets...
With these lovely chipboard items I made this...
Another Autumn creation!!
Yes I know - going a bit mad on seasonal things at the moment!
I made a box by cutting off a segment of triple paper mache frame. I had already dismantled it partially by making another frame - so thought I might as well finish the job. The cut end was easily sealed with a piece of cardboard and then I got to work decorating! First thing was to stick all the leaves in place.
Then I painted everything with Decoart Gesso. I then painted the box in Decoart media Titan Buff acrylic paint.
I then painted the leaves in a combination of Autumn colours - I used
Pyrrole Orange
Naphthol Red Light
Quinacridone Gold
Primary Yellow
Cadmium Orange Hue
Green Gold
Once these were dry I applied a layer of Crackle glaze. Then when that had dried I covered everything with Raw Umber Antiquing Cream. I wiped this away with a baby wipe and applied a layer of Ultra Matte Varnish
I also wiped some Treasure Gold over the sides of the frame
I used White Fire Treasure Gold over the leaves. Just randomly wiping them lightly with the gold paste.
I used Idea-ology Alpha Parts letters to spell out the word 'Autumn' and used the Treasure Gold to colour just the tops of the letters, leaving them black underneath.
I covered the center of the frame with a page from a French dictionary
I filled the frame with a pine cone, piece of bark, twig and brown cheesecloth.
I added two of the ferns that had been painted with Decoart Burnt Umber paint
...and there is my finished Autumn Frame...
Hope you like it!
