Homespun Wreath - Neil Walker

Helloooo,

Welcome to the weekend......

Hope you've all got some nice things planned!

So, today is our last Homespun Wreath project and

Neil is here to show you what he has made....

Neil says -

I began by painting the wreath with white crackle paint and

 allowed to dry (though in retrospect I would recommend

 that you paint it with gesso first as the crackle had a tendency

 to shed a bit so I ended up painting it with Matte Faux Finish

 Medium to prevent more shedding!) 

Next stage was to paint the wreath with Burnt Sienna Fluid 

Acrylic and wiping it back to highlight some of the crackle.

Then, when dry I added some Cobalt Teal Hue and Titan Buff

 Fluid Acrylic and rubbed it back to blend and reveal

 the colour below.

For the next stage I tied a ribbon to hang it from and then I 

took a load of the Tim Holtz Thinlits Tiny Tattered Florals that

 I had die cut from Distress Cardstock. These were attached to

 the wreath with a glue gun.

I then took a heart that had been cut from the Primitive Heart

 Die set from Sizzix. I used Tim Holtz Clockwork stencil and 

modeling paste to add texture and painted it with the Cobalt

 and Titan Buff before adding it to the wreath with the glue gun.

Thank you Neil, so pretty.

I really love those little flowers too.

Doesn't matter how many flower dies I have, I 

always want more!
