This challenge is the one that strikes me with terror, but that's the theme this week over at Sweet Stampin'! I'd had these wooden hearts for ages and thought that now was as good a time as any to try my hand at altering them.
Out came the gesso, then the Fresco Finish paints (Nougat, Stone, Chalk and Dolly Mix). I painted some Crackle Glaze between the Dolly Mix and the Stone layers after stamping a Hobby Art text stamp over the hearts in brown Staz-On ink. I sanded off some of the top layer to get a patchy look and rubbed gilding wax over the top. Boy, that is powerful smelling stuff!
I hope you can join in with us at Sweet Stampin' this week. The Sweeties have made the most outstanding inspiration projects to help you get started, so grab a cuppa and hop over here to take a look. We're being sponsored by Di's Digis, so there's a $12 voucher on offer to our lucky winner.
Have a great day!
