Hello crafters, for this month’s Polkadoodles DT project, I was inspired to use the quirky ‘Oddella Fairy’ digi stamp as I thought the image was perfect for a mixed media project. To start, I cut and coloured the image with Promarkers and Polychromos Pencils, choosing to work with purples and greys for a more gothic feel, sizing her to fit on a 9.5” tag which I cut from recycled packaging.
To create texture, I used ‘Distress Texture Paste’ through
the Polkadoodles ‘Going Batty’ stencil and cut out 2 bats from the ‘Bat Crazy’
die by Sizzix, I then cut some random
shapes out of card scraps, including gate post shapes, circles and leaves,
painting the whole lot, including the tag, in black gesso.
Once dry, I assembled my composition of shapes on to the
tag, without sticking anything down at this stage. Once I was happy with the composition, I
added additional mental embellishments, thick cotton, 3D balls and more texture
paste. I then stuck all the elements
down with multi-purpose medium and reapplied black gesso to make sure there was
an even covering.
To really bring out the texture, I used metallic waxes in
shades of silver, purple and blue over the tag and sprayed seam binding ribbon
in ink, fraying the edges to give it a distressed look. Finally, I secured the fairy used multi-purpose
medium and added a sentiment from the ‘Let’s Hang Out Sentiments Bundle - Winnie
download bundle’. I really enjoyed
making this month’s project and I hope you like it.
Happy crafting!
