3d Bloom & Texture

3d Bloom & Texture

Hi everyone

Here's a great project to while

away those winter evenings

from Helen Chilton:

This is my canvas for the 3D bloom theme 

using JOFY stamps and Prima Color Bloom sprays

I didn't have any modelling paste to hand 

so die cut some book paper flowers

 with Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die

When the canvas had dried I painted it with 

Chalk, Pixie Dust and Sugar Plum Frescos 

and then spritzed a little Sunshine Color Bloom spray

Then I started stamping flowers and leaves in paint

and filled them in using mid, light and dark tones

I then added shadow and highlights to give them more definition.

I also lightly outlined the paper flowers in the background

and added a little more Sunshine spray with a paint brush

 Die cut the flowers from several pages of an old book and

fix together with a brad (do that as soon as you've die cut them).

Spritz in Sunshine Spray and then dip in crystal glitter.

Scrunch them up and leave to dry

Add touches of Plumeria Color Bloom to both the flowers 

and the canvas so that it all tones in

I changed the brads for copper ones and added copper ones to the top

Here's a close up view to see the details 

Materials used:

Stamps:  JOFY 45

Prima Color Bloom Spray Mists: Sunshine, Plumeria

PaperArtsy Fresco paints:

 Chalk, Pixie Dust, Sugar Plum, Granny Smith, South Pacific, Haystack, Zesty Zing

Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations Die: Tattered Florals

Thank you Helen for taking our

minds off the cold and dark winter days

Definitely a project to bring good cheer

'Till tomorrow
