Hello
Today I have a piece of wall art to share for my GDT post for AALL & Create.
I made a wall hanging using an MDF plaque from Samantha K.
I love the #269 Flourish bird stamp by Bipasha BK and wanted to create something other than a card with it. Inspired by a Tracy Evans workshop, I made a clay bird and popped it onto some twigs, then surrounded it with moss and flowers. I am really pleased with how it turned out. Here are some close up photos:
Step by Step:
1. Texture paste was applied through the #112 Heapza Hexagons stencil and acrylic paints applied and wiped back with a baby wipe.
2. #374 Reverse Hexagons were stamped with Shady Lane ink and gold wax applied around the edges.
3. The #269 Flourish stamps were stamped and fussy cut.
4. The leaves and bird images were coloured with Inktense watercolour pencils.
5. The leaves were layered for added dimension and liquid pearls added as berries.
6. I gathered some twigs from the garden, glued them in place and surrounded them with florists' moss.
7. I stamped the bird into air drying clay. It was cut out and left to dry. When dry it was painted and waxed. The words 'little birds' which is part of the stamp was also stamped into clay.
8. The flowers were layered and placed with the leaves on the bottom part of the plaque.
9. Glossy accents was applied over the clock face and the robin was perched on the twigs.
Gold Posca pen was used to add shine to the clock surround and white Posca paint was splattered over the entire project.
