Hello there! Can you believe its been a whole two weeks since the Imagination Crafts Challenge Blog began? Well it has - which means its time to show you another piece to try and get you to join us before the end of the month. It is anything goes but the rules do state that you need to use an IC product to be considered for the massive £40 prize of IC goodies! If you don't use one you are still eligible for a top 3 award so all to play for really!
Here's what I did:
I started with a mannequin and stand that I bought from the indigo blu stand at the Port Sunlight Show. I started by painting that with Pebeo acrylic yellow paint and allowing to dry. Then I added versa mark directly to the painted body in stripes and added black embossing powder and heat set. Then I stamped the dragon fly - part of a gilding stamp set from Imagination Crafts. I used the Imagination Crafts Hexagon mask and some versa mark then added some Frantage to colour the hexagons again heat setting. The wings were made by mixing sparkle gel from Imagination crafts with pebeo black acrylic paint and using the hexagon mask to apply the mixture onto acetate that I had previously cut into shape. Finally I added the WOC flower and the ribbon trim and painted the stand with black gesso and added the lettering. I had lots of fun making this - its a bit different for me - love to know what you make of it!!!!
