Hello!
A fab theme this week on the Tando Creative blog for Valentine's, so I went mad with the hearts but decided to give them a grungy twist...
I started by using this heart that came from the inside of one of the heart layered frames.
The holes were added with a crop a dile and then I built up the piece using Tando mini hearts, art balls, micro beads and texture sand paste.
Once this had all dried overnight I painted over the piece with crackle paint and then added some crackle paste to areas...
When the crackles had fully developed I added my colour in layers.
I started with watered down gold acrylic then some quinacridone gold.
These were allowed to drip into different areas then once dry I added some brown, gamboge and scarlet brusho powders.
To continue building up the layers of colour I added gold gilding wax and also dry brushed on some blue paint. I kept going with this until I was happy with the outcome...
To finish off the piece I added some rusty wire around the heart as well as to the holes as a hanger. I took one more mini heart and painted it with pyrole red acrylic, coating it with liquid glass and adding a gem.
Finally I used one of the Tim Holtz small chat stickers that fit the theme...
Here are the products that I used:
* Tando Layered Frame Heart
* Tando Grab Bag of Hearts
* Decoart Media Line Mediums
* Decoart Media Line Fluid Acrylics
* Brusho Powders
* Rusty Wire
I hope you are enjoying all the heart themed projects this week from the team, thank you for looking.
Happy crafting,
Jane xx
