Products used:

 

Memento Bamboo Leaves

Viva Décor Chalky Vinage Look Paint

Viva Décor Relief Paper Paste

Dylusions Ink Spray

Adirondack Dabber

 

Basics – PVA glue – hot glue gun – baby wipes – stencil

 Step 1

 

 

It all started with a broken china brooch that the chap next door gave me to ‘do something with’.  I have this reputation – people are always bringing me odd bits and bobs of treasure that they think I will like.

Step 2 

 

 I am in a ‘green’ phase at the moment so I dug out everything green I could find.  It’s amazing just how many products we have in our stash that are supplied by Personal Impressions – they stock such a huge range of well-known names.   Memento ink pad – Bamboo Leaves, Dylusions Zesty Lime, Adirondack paint dabber Citrus, the dark green Viva Chalky paint pot from the starter set and Viva paper flowers with the Viva texture paste – which are not green – but will be soon.

 Step 3

 

 From your supplies you will also need – a small canvas, some newspaper.

Step 4

 

Collect up some flowers and foliage, background swirls and general decoration.  These are - white Viva flowers, flowers cut from Marianne Design Branch and Flower Die and Swirl Die and a few green leave I had in the drawer.

Step 5 

 

Use the PVA to adhere the newspaper to cover the canvas.  The use a baby wipe to add the various paints.  Don’t be neat – patchy is good.  Use the ink pad to scrub round the edges of the canvas.  You can use a stamp as well to add a bit of extra background texture.

Step 6 

 

Put a little of the texture paste into palate or saucer – add a little of the Citrus paint and mix together.  You don’t have to mix thoroughly – streaky is very pretty.

Step 7

 

 

I have used A Claudine Hellmuth stencil – Wall Flowers.

Step 8 

Start building in the right hand corner with the branches and swirls, the leaves and the flowers and a couple of little thin twigs.  You could actually leave the canvas like this – it’s really pretty

Step 9

 

 

I have gone on to add the china brooch, a couple of rolled flowers, a bird’s nest charm, a butterfly, some liquid pearls in the background, stickles glitter glue on the flowers and stems.
