Happy Day

Happy Day

Hallo There!

How're you today?  Hope

you're only being affected

by this Mad Marchness in

a good way .........  I've

always wondered why the

eggs are brought by hares

or rabbits (depending where

you are in the world).....

Angela Radford has popped

by today with a really cute

project that has nothing to

do with madness, March or

Hares ..... just Spring...

 Hi all, Angela here to show you how I 

used this door hanger to create a 

really nice gift.

 Cut out the tiny butterflies and

 attach to the hanger.

Next I applied some crinkled tissue paper 

and then covered the whole thing 

with a good coat of Gesso and don't 

forget the sides and back.

Now you can start to add the colour, 

(Fresco Finish acrylics by Paper Artsy)

 I like to layer this adding the lightest colours

 first, dry it and then add more colour. 

When that's complete, rub over everything

 gently with Treasure Gold gilding wax. 

At this stage I also made some larger butterflies

 using a Woodware mould and coloured those too.

To complete the hanger I used a text stamp

 randomly, attached a sentiment, positioned the

 butterflies and added some gems. 

It's a good idea to seal the paint when

 finished with Glaze or varnish.

Happy crafting, Angela xXx

Oh Angela, that is seriously good

Thank you very much.  

I particularly like the colours - not really

in my comfort range so I think I will

have a go at this technique myself but

on a book cover .................

'Till tomorrow
