It's time for a new challenge over at the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge. This month our theme is altered embellishments. So fun, just alter any embellishment you have in some way. We are sponsored by UmWow and they sent our team some Wood Chipboard pieces designed by Lynne Forsythe.
 |
| I started out with a medium sized Tim Holtz big chipboard tag. I used stamps from PaperArtsy. I wanted to see how it all would fit on the tag. In then end I only used two flowers. |
 |
| I used PaperArtsy Fresco paints to paint the tag. I mixed these colors to get a custom color. |
 |
| I was very happy with the color. |
 |
| After the paint dried I applied PaperArtsy Grunge Paste through a TCW stencil. |
 |
| Then I used a permanent ink spray with another stencil. |
 |
| Then I used another PaperArtsy paint through a TCW stencil. |
 |
| I checked to make sure I knew which side of the hippies to decorate. |
 |
| I painted the leaves green and thought they were too dull so I added several coats of green glitter paint to them. |
 |
| The glitter paint add some texture and dimension. |
 |
| I painted the flowers with Jane Davenport Mermaid Markers. I added glass beads to the middle of each flower. I covered the flower petals with Goosebumps texture spray. I added little ruler on the bottom, some craft sticks as stamps, I found some plastic leaves that I painted and finally added a little cork butterfly that I used my fingers to paint with pink and yellow paints. |
