Step 1<\/h3>\n

Paint a wooden block with the Little Birdie Mixed Media Paste. Mist the paste with some water and then paint the block to create a gessoed base. Use the same paste with a palette knife and stencil the design repeatedly onto the block. Leave to dry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Step 2<\/h3>\n

Cut up some chipcard swirls and adhere to the wooden block using Heavy Gel medium as a glue. Adhere flower clusters using Heavy Gel and leave the block to dry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Step 3<\/h3>\n

Mist the flowers with water. Use a pipette and drop some ink colours onto the block starting at the top with Black Iris All-Purpose Ink, mist with water and let the ink flow. Now continue adding colour with the All-Purpose Inks in this order after the Black Iris: Wisteria, Rose Pink, Tangerine, Mint Green and Spring Green. Keeping adding colour and misting with water.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Step 4<\/h3>\n

Use a paint brush to get into smaller spots and to add some ink drops on areas where you want more colour or where you want colours to bleed and blend.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Step 5<\/h3>\n

Once dry, finish off your block with a handle at the top and other elements as desired.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
