Tando Creative: Love and Hearts Flourish Tag

Hi everyone, sorry its been a while I have a tag for you today for our Hearts & Love week. I really went for the flourish look with all of it. I stencilled texture paste followed with graphite paste. On the Tando heart I triple embossed and flourished that too I hope you all like flourishes.

There is also crackle paste underneath the flourished heart. you would never believe that the colour under the white is red and dioxide purple. A lot of dry brushing with gesso followed by emphasising the flourishes with black water colour.

The Love word was glued onto a painted cut down drink stirer it was then gives a coat of clear crackle glaze. Once dried I rubbed in Umber antique paste to emphasise the cracks. all the graphite paste was rubbed with pewter treasure gold to make it pop.
