Finnabair inspiration

Ooh twice in a day, get me!!

I have been watching a lot of Ustream and youtube videos lately to try to broaden my crafting horizons. I have fallen in love with the work of Anna Dabrowska and wanted to have a go to see if i could make anything remotely like it.

I took a series of photos to remember the process really and thought i would share with you.

firstly i covered this mdf blank in the sunrise/sunset papers by Anna from Prima, i then used some modelling paste through a stencil to give some texture, after drying this i added random bits of lace, ribbon and string onto the piece.

After this had all dried i applied a thin coat of gesso over the top of everything i had stuck down, it feels pretty scary at this point!

When the gesso had dried i then used dylusion spray inks in complimentary colours to spray over the gessoed pieces

I then. looked through my stash to find bits and pieces to add to the project, this is a great way to use up flowers that maybe dont match anything or broken bits and pieces, i stuck all these down with hot glue to ensure they would stay put!

I then lightly gessoed over the newly added embellishments, let this dry and sprayed again using more of the dylusions inks.

And here is the final product. I have to say i was quite pleased with the way this turned out, it is in fact a lot stronger in colour in real life, i have a large bay window in my craft room so its made the colour look a lot paler than it really is.

 

Thanks for looking.
