Here's my creation for this week:
LJ832 Give Thanks stencil LL515 Pumpkins LL3008 Tall wheat |
LJ832 Give Thanks in Matte Black Embossing Paste with Metallic FX Powders |
- Start with a natural square mirror from Ikea
- Paint across the bottom with some greens and brown acrylic paints (I used Distress Acrylic Paints)
- Move up the mirror with yellows, oranges, rust, and little red, blending them together
- Dry with a heat tool to make sure the paints are dry
- Lay the Tall wheat stencil (LL3008) in different areas and stencil with the brown paint
- Paste emboss the Pumpkins stencil (LL515) on green cardstock with Matte Yellow Embossing Paste, let dry (do this twice)
- When the pumpins are dry, use the paints to stencil on color
- Tape off the Give Thanks part of LJ832, place the stencil in the lower left corner of the mirror and paste emboss with Matte Black Embossing Paste
- Remove stencil and let paste dry for about 8-10 minutes
- Clean and dry stencil, tape off the cornucopia part, leaving just the words
- Paste emboss the words in the upper right area of the mirror
- Remove stencil and let paste dry
- Use a soft brush to brush Metallic FX powders on the almost dry paste
- When paste is completely dry, use a swiffer cloth to remove any extra powders
- Cut out the two sets of Pumpkins, adhere one set flat onto the mirror, use foam mounting tape on the second set
