So the project that I have to share with you all was an old wooden doorstop before I got messy with a mixture of . . .
Pan Pastels, Metallic Pan Pastels, Maimeri Mediums and Gels, Scrap papers and old book pages . . . you know how much I loooove old book pages,lol!
I started with a quick coat of Maimeri Gesso
followed by applying and blending Pan Pastels in . . .
Yellow Ochre, Permanent Red Shade, Bright Yellow Green Shade
{ I use a fixative Spray between colours but you can also use hairspray }
I had a few scraps of paper on my worktop,
soooo I snipped out a house shape and heart, fixed them in place with Maimeri Matt Gel medium and added a few doodle doodle doo`s.
Ohhhhh the words are from an old book, I just search through it till I find the right words for my project.
This is the back of the doorstop . . . the words are so true, my boys are all grown up and spreading there wings so every minute we are together are precious!!!
Time is so fleeting.
I added touches of Metallic Pan Pastels in Light Gold, Rich Gold and Pewter . . . I wish you could see how this shimmers in real life, the colours are so vibrant and rich . . .
It has been dull, dull, dull here in Scotland the last few days for taking pictures!
A quick coat of Maimeri Glossy Gel Medium with a little Metallic Light Gold Pan Pastel mixed through it to finish.
Be sure and pop by the Premium Craft Brand Challenge site to see the rest of the projects by my lovely team mates
Catch you later
Hugs
