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 theme this time is EMBOSSING
as I have heat embossed on it,
&
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,
Kat x.

  5. What a wonderful hanging you've made. I love the daisies too but have now got hooked on the sweet peas. This fushioning lark is definitely addictive isn't it.
    Thanks so much for joining us at The Stampman this time.
