Hello Shimmerz friends! Today I have a little banner to share with you.
I had fun making this to decorate my (newly tidied) craft space :o)
I cut a banner shape from a size 12 manila tag, folded over the top and painted it with In the Navy AcriTonez. Then I added a layer of Weathered Wood Crackle glaze. While this was drying I mixed
Blue My Top and Peas Be Mine AcriTonez with loads of gesso to get this soft blue tone. When the crackle glaze was touch dry I painted that over the top and that's how I got this background.
Next I layered up embellishments, some cheese cloth and artstones, using gel medium to glue them down.
Playing around with my sprays is always my favourite bit. I used
Vibez Jeni B Bleu and Don't Rain on my Parade, and Coloringz Heidi Ho Blue and Chocolate Browny.
Some dry brushing with Gesso to bring out the textures.
Some stamping in selected areas
A little word plaque
A cord through the top and tassel at the bottom finished it all off.
Ok and now for the best bit :o)
Thanks for your visit today!
