... these 2 pieces started out as a couple of 'tester/ lets try this and see what happens' pieces... but I liked them so much I thought I'd show them to you...
The board canvas (5x7inches) was painted with Fresco Finish paints (Blood Orange, Orchid, Tango (loving Tango at the moment!), Claret, Chalk, Tinned Peas) , the tile effect on the background is the 'blocks' stencil by Georgina (available from The Artistic Stamper).
Stamps are all JOFY - JOFY13, 14, 26, JM40
This little block of wood (5x4cm) is an offcut from recent work on our house (I 'rescued' it from a pile of 'stuff', receiving strange looks from our builders lol) .. enjoyed painting this ... it felt as if I was proving a point - it was not rubbish - too good to throw away! (I have another block in this February's Craft Stamper magazine)
I added strips of lazer cut greyboard flowers on each side (from buzzandbloom.com) - cute little strips out of the 'lasercut elements' box on the shelf...
Don't throw away offcuts - upcycle them!
Love the blocks and the canvas
ReplyDeleteGreat projects - we have stacks of wood, what a great way of using them!
ReplyDeleteLovely Jo! I have a piece of wood I've been waiting for someone to cut for me for a couple of months now!
ReplyDeleteWooden Chucky ATC's are my favourite substrate to work on Jo, i enjoy the tactile feel and wood is such a pleasure to transform. Love yours very much:-) x
