My post for today is an image by
'The Papershelter.com
I coloured back in April on a Promarker class
I attended at my local craft store.
Didn't have an occasion at the time to use it so it has been
sat in my bits and bobs tray awaiting inspiration to take hold.
I had a 2nd wooden frame that I had bought for 50p from
the local charity shop so I decided to repaint using the
colours from the image.
Base is 'Willow Tree' tester pot in matt paint
left to dry , then given a liberal coating of
PVA adhesive (by brushing the adhesive on first one way and then
the other you get a much finer crackle appear
see here for the difference) and then quickly covered with another
tester pot ' Dusted Fondant'.
Fortunately I still had the promarker colour chart from the class
so I was able to use the same pens to colour the roses with.
I used Spellbinders 'Rose Creations' and
Die-namics 'Royal Leaves' dies to create them.
A close up below of the coloured image.
Fairly pleased with my efforts as I'm not a colourist.
