The second piece I made for me, and my new craft space, and is also a great fit for the Global Design Project Theme Challenge, For the Love of Craft. This is certainly a topic close to my heart. I love all sorts of crafty activities, but especially stamping and paper crafting. Today's projects are a little different from my usual card making, but I have still thoroughly enjoyed making them.
I love all things heart-shaped and this darling little decor piece is no exception. To prepare the background there was a little role reversal and I raided my younger daughter's art supplies for some white acrylic paint. Usually, it is my craft stash that is being dipped into!
I applied the paint with a sponge to achieve a stippled effect. Once it was dry (which doesn't take very long at all) I stamped the whole surface with the Crackle Paint background stamp in Sahara Sand ink (stamping off on scrap paper first for a very light coverage on the wall hanging).
Next, I stamped a series of pens, in Black Memento ink, on to the right hand side of the prepared background. The direction of the pens is alternated so that they nestle closely together. The pot of paintbrushes is again stamped in Memento ink, but this time on to Shimmery White card, and then coloured with Blends. The sentiment - a mantra for everyone, not just crafters - is also on Shimmery White card in Memento ink. The off white colour of the acrylic paint works really well with this card and a single Epoxy Heart finishes off the sentiment.
I have used several sets of dies to finish off the piece. Stitched Shapes, Layering Circles and Ovals were used to crop out the paint pot and the sentiment. The Inspire comes from the Sweet Silhouette dies and the Hand-lettered Prose dies are individual letters (so useful!) that have been used to cut out 'art'.
