Celebrate this life

Hi there Creatives!

For my first Little Birdie Crafts blog-post for April I decided to do something different, not my usual scrapbook layout. I've been wanting to alter a bare mask and paint palette for a while and this week I felt inspired to create an off the page project with these items.

First I dry brushed the wooden paint palette with Slate Mixed Media Paste.

While it was drying I panted the bare mask with Tinted Metallic Paint , Golden Glaze and Golden Plum.

I stencilled with Tinted Metallic Paints and the Irregular Dot Design stencil and Spotty stencil on the painted wooden palette.  I used a small sponge dauber to apply the paint. 

I left the palette to dry naturally, while I painted the chipboard shapes and title with Little Birdie Black Gesso. It is a wonderful matt black and covers very well the first time.

Once the background was dry, I adhered paint brushes and the painted chipboard pieces to the palette as the first layer. I used the Little birdie Heavy Gel Medium as adhesive.

To create a layered effect on the mask I first stamped on the mask, then I used the Spotty stencil again to stencil with the Tinted Metallic Paint. I added the painted chipboard as decoration around the eye and added rhinestones, chains and charms create an interesting  effect.

Finally I created a flower arrangement with various sized flowers. To finish the project off I

Thank you for stopping by, I hope this leaves you inspired to create something beautiful too!
