DAISY DAISY PAINT FUSION DAISY.

Hi all,
today I would like to shear my latest creation,
it's a wall hanging for my new bedroom,
I love doing the paint fusion paintings (I'm hooked)
if you haven't come across this before then head over to
 http://www.sheena.tv/ Sheena Douglass will explain all.

While I was at ally pally at the weekend I met a lovely lady called
Katie (she was Sheena's stand in for the show)
I took my inspiration for this piece from a sample she had on the stand,
here's a link to her blog chantilly rose crafts
she has some amazing stuff to show you.

OK here it is,

I started with 3 15cm x 15cm pieces of mount board,

I covered them with patterned paper,

added eyelets to thread the ribbon through

then I used the WOW embossing powders

(& they are WOW I love the glittery ones, brass is my fave)

next I took 3 10cm x 10cm pieces of mount board

& done Sheena's distress background on them

(it's all explained in Sheena's paint fusion DVD)

I then painted a selection of daisies & leaves on them,

I used weathered wood distress ink to age parts of the background,

I went round the edge with

BRASS GLITTER WOW embossing powder,

then I added the die cut letters

DAISY MAKE ME SMILE (well they do)

& I added glossy accents over the top of them.

threaded it all together & hay presto there you have it!

Here's some close ups.

  

I love that I can paint with this much detail,

with so little effort,

thanks Sheena your amazing.

I am entering this into the following challenges,

the stamp man challenges

the theme this time is EMBOSSING

as I have heat embossed on it,

&

Simon says stamp and show blog

the theme this time is,

SHOW SOME DISTRESSING

this is the distressed background

(I thought I would challenge myself to thinking outside

the box & not automatically reach for the distress inks,

as I always do, but a little weathered wood did sneak in) LOL

Hope you like it as much as I do,

I get so much satisfaction from these techniques

& I am quite proud of this piece,

even if I do say so myself, lol

Thanks for stopping by,

Back son,
