Everything Has Beauty

There is a new theme over on the Paperartsy blog this fortnight - gels and mediums. My project was very much inspired by Sue Carrington's project which you can see here.

I've used a paper mâché hanging board as my base and covered it with torn book pages using glue and seal to stick the pages and also over the top to seal them:-

I gave it a light coat of Buff Fresco paint to tone down the text a bit:-

Next I used a Lin Brown stencil with some Prima graphite texture paste - it is really thick and sandy and has a great sparkle in it (one of my cats was very interested in the paste lol):-

Next I painted some smoothy card with Lavender Fresco paint and then another piece with Tinned Peas. I stamped and cut out the images from a Lin Brown plate then added dimension using Eggplant and Limelight Fresco paints.

The flower petals were coated with Paperartsy metallic glaze, shaped then layered and fastened with a brad.

I added some extra stamping on the board using a couple of Finnabair texture stamps in smokey grey versafine, then edged the board with walnut stain distress ink.

 

I layered all the pieces onto the board then added the lace along the bottom and the small talk sticker.

A couple of additional photos:-
