The pressure of being creative is real and sometimes the best thing you can do is to just have fun. So the other day I had some fun using a piece of cardboard and some goodies on my table.
I created this beautiful plaque using a piece of Kraft board, texture paste and All-Purpose Inks.
-
Step 1
Apply a thin layer of texture paste using a palette knife. Apply the paste and then thin it out onto the board in a thin smooth layer with some texture here and there.
-
Step 2
While the paste is still wet, insert some chipboard elements and leave to dry. The paste will dry and act as an adhesive for the chipboard elements.
-
Step 3
Once the paste is dry, use 3 colours of All-Purpose Inks to add colour. Use a pipette to drip the colour onto the board and then mist with water. Let the ink swirl around until the entire background is coloured. Leave to dry completely.
-
Step 4
Emboss a chipboard word in gold embossing powder and adhere it to the plaque overlapping the flowers encased in the texture paste.
TIP: add some ribbon to the top and hang it somewhere, or position it on an easel as a decorative element. Just have fun as you explore and play and use some of that beautiful stash you are hoarding.
