Today starts a brand new challenge at Things to Alter with a theme of Anything Goes! The lucky winner will receive some awesome MDF by Jac but you have to play to win, hope to see you soon!
This is the project I made as part of Jac's creative team.
The substrate is another dollar store plaque I found and lots of MDF goodness!
Our theme was Shabby Chic until we decided to do Anything Goes to encourage more mixed media players, so with that theme still in mind, here is my attempt at Shabby Chic.
I really love the softer colors and how well they play with texture!
The canvas is 6 inches by 6 inches.
My Ingredients:
Things to Alter MDF:
Paperclay flowers coated in gesso and layers of Distress Paint.
Highlights and some shine with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Glaze. I really love the Glaze for a 'sealing' layer.
The dollar store substrate is covered with lace from an old not so-old lacey dress. I attached the lace with some mat medium then gesso'd over the drop so the drippy drips would stay put.
I left the nest and sweet heart birds in the natural MDF color :) for POP

Have a great day and hope to see you play soon!
Happy Weekend!
