Hello Friends! I'm excited to share my project with you today! When I saw Finnabair's March 2019 Art Recipe and that they turned it into a challenge, I knew that I had to create something! Check out this amazing art recipe:
Look at those yummy colors and products! The challenge allows you to use colors such as vintage shades of gold, rusty brown, pink, and green. The Finnabair products that must be used are:
Art Basics: Clear Gesso
Art Alchemy: Métallique Waxes
Art Ingredients: Mini Art Stones
Art Extravagance: Icing Paste
Here is the project that I came up with for this challenge:
I think the real star of this project is the Clear Gesso, even though you can't see it! I used it to cover the tissue paper so that when I added color, it would sit on top and not absorb into the paper. It also protected the sticks that I found outside and sealed the ends of them. I like to use resin with my moulds, but I don't like how shiny they are when hardened. I covered the resin moulds to a matte finish and all of my metal embellishments, so that they would take color mediums well.
I started with a 3D House from Woodouts as my base. I find myself obsessed with houses, doors, and windows lately. Do you ever go through a phase in your crafting where you are drawn to certain items? I covered the house with Finnabair's new tissue paper. They come in a few designs and they lend a special element to any project!
Then I took 2 colors of Finnabair's Icing Paste through her Passiflora stencil. I used Vintage Gold and Lucky Emerald. Mixing these colors through the stencil added some gorgeous shimmer on my background.
I used the Metallique Waxes on all of my embellishments. I just love how they bring a project to life!
I added Mini Art Stones randomly all over my project. I concentrated mostly on the branches though. I love all of the texture I can achieve when using them. I also colored them wth the Liquid Acrylics and Metallique Waxes.
I made a complete tutorial so you can see how I made this. It's up on my YouTube channel now. While you're there, please subscribe! You can see the tutorial HERE!
Thank you so much for stopping by! This is the very first challenge that I'm entering, so wish me luck!

Shannon
