A big Thank You to everyone who entered Challenge #46 in February. Your projects were all wonderful and our winners have been announced on the blog.
Our theme is always
"Anything Mixed Media Goes"
I have another circular project to show today.
This one started out as a wooden cheese container at Christmas. The top and bottom were given a good couple of coats of white gesso and some harlequin stencilling with texture paste.
Next were the paint layers. First, dark brown acrylic, followed by mid-turquoise. I then added Prima Artstones and painted a layer of light teal acrylic. Each paint layer was wiped back with a damp cloth before it had fully dried. I finished the paints by dry brushing with a pale gold acrylic.
I created the flowers by die-cutting four layers of each petal from plain white card, gelling them together and shaping. The petals were painted with the light teal and dry brushed with gold before assembling and having Artstone centres added.
The butterflies are metal embellishments that have been given the same treatment. I added extra gold paint on the Artstones because it looks so pretty.
The finishing touch was to stamp some text randomly around the sides of the box in brown Archival ink.
