Hello All Fiona here with a project using one of The Art Blocks recently launched.
I started by gluing the block together and then gave it a coat of DecoArt Chalky Finish in Carbon. Once dry I then applied a coat of DecoArt Ultra Matte varnish to seal and protect.
I then cut a piece of scrap booking paper from my stash to fit the front and the sides. I Inked the edges of the paper with black archival ink and then attached to the Art Block with DecoArt Decoupage glue.
I then applied DecoArt Chalky finish in Treasure to a Tando Heart from the Grab Bag of Hearts. This was then stamped with a script stamp in black Archival Ink and then Heat embossed with clear embossing powder. The edges were then swiped with DecoArt Metallic Lustre in Gold.
A small Tando Layered Butterfly was assembled and blue glitter added to the recesses and the top layer was given a coat of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic in Raw umber and swiped with the gold metallic lustre. The heart and Butterfly were then layered up onto the Art Block as shown using off cuts of grey board to give depth and dimension. The edges of the box were then swiped with the metallic lustre wax and a sentiment added to finish.
These Art Blocks which come in various sizes and depth are a great way to showcase all manner of designs and techniques.
There will be quite a few blog posts over the coming weeks from the DT to showcase what they have done with their Art Blocks.
As always thank you for taking the time to stop by and read
Hugs
Fiona
