Hi everyone! I'm True and I would like to share another pin with you today.
When I created my "Faux Mosaic Eggeshell Pins" tutorial that I shared with you a little while back during a Helamar blog hop, I made several steps of the project to save video time. This left me with lots of canvas covered chipboard hearts. I decided to put one of them to good use today, only this time using a different technique and utilizing some of the pretty coloring mediums Faber Castell sent me to play with.
Here is my latest pin...
...and here is what I did to create it.
I started with one of those canvas covered heart I mentioned earlier. If you would like to see how I attached the canvas to the chipboard, you can watch the first few minutes of THIS VIDEO.
I rubbed some Faber Castell Gold Metallic Gelato onto some wax paper then added some Helmar Decoupage and mixed it with a brush.
Then painted it on to my canvas heart making sure to get the sides also.
I added a few pieces of a page torn from an old book. Then added more of my mixture over the top to seal it down.
Then I added some more color by mixing some Faber Castell Colbalt Turquoise from thier PITT Big Brush Artist pen with some more Helmar Decoupage, and dabbled it on in a couple of places.
Then I did the same with the Nougat Big Brush Pen.
Then, after it was dry, I used a Metallic Gold PITT Artist Pen to draw on some doodles.
I mixed a bit of glitter with Helmar Decoupage and added it in a few places, and after it dried I put a thick coat of gloss over the top to seal and shine.
I used Helmar Acid Free glue to attach a coordinating piece of fabric to the back to pretty it up.
I attached the pin back with Helmar Gemstone Glue.
I finished it off with a pretty Prima leaf and flower attached with Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots.
I would love to hear what you think about my pin and tutorial. :)
Hugs,
