Wheeee…..pretty girls for AFA swap. I love all these and very proud of the outcomes. I drew each of them on a 4 x 4 inches thick watercolour paper. Painted them with watercolour pencils. Painted the backgrounds with acrylic paints. Collage with story papers and some embellishment. Finshed each chunky off with fibres, buttons and flowers. Thanks and hugs to Suzi Blu’s workshop…so fun and productive today… Guess which is my favourite?
This is the Xmas chunkies I am supposed to swap before 2009 arrived. However, I was too busy (as usual) and too slow to create these. Overall I am quite happy with the background effects that were made out of accident and no planning again! Every background is done on chipboard directly.
I used tissue papers for this background. Then I spray with Adirondack color wash (Lettuce, Butterscotch and a bit of Wild Plum) onto the background. I used Stickles to glitter the whole page and cut out a Xmas tree from a patterned papers and glitter on the little ornaments on the tree. Oh My! Tissue paper again! I simply love this technique, easy and fast.
I applied texture paste with credit card to create the texture on the base. Then I painted with acrylic paint, distressed with brown ink, cut out images and glitter onto this background. Love the effect!
In this red background and the blue background below, I did a gel medium ‘kissing’ technique for the base. Simply apply some gel medium randomly onto one chipboard and press the second chipboard against the first to ‘sandwich’ the gel medium. Pull the chipboard apart, there you will see some nice nice texture on the chipboard. Repeat the process if you want more texture in different location of the chipboard. For this chunky, I sprayed Wild Plum Adirondack color wash, distressed with walnut distress ink, splatter white paint with toothbrush, glitter, cut out the bird and bird cage image from a patterned paper. Ta Da! Done!
After the ‘kissing’ process stated above, I used old toothbrush to brush blue acrylic paint across the chipboard, distressed with blue distress ink, splattered white paint with toothbrush again, glitter with silver and blue stickle, cut out images from patterned papers and all done! Toothbrush as a paintbrush? Yap indeed…fun ya!
Yummy…I love cupcakes! Beautiful and yummy….These cupcake chunkies are for AFA swap. Different flavour, different toppings added onto the cupcake chunkies! Fibres, scrapbooking patterned paper, pop-corn pens or tissue papers toppings for you? Me? I love and used all the above mentioned toppings for these chunkies! Yum! Yum! Plus I used flowers, epoxy, leaves to make them prettier to look at. Wanna have one cupcake and join me for tea?
