As soon as I saw Sue Carrington's doorway I knew I wanted to make something similar - but as I don't have a die I made a quick template from images in Excel and cut the front and back from a pizza box. I also didn't have a brick mask so improvised again by cutting my own bricks from card. I've used Nougat as the base coat on the front along with Tinned Peas and Hey Pesto. The inside had a base coat of Pansy, crackle glaze and Nougat on top. (I'm officially addicted to crackle glaze - it fab how it works so well every time, unlike other products I've tried). The JOFY flowers were stamped onto tissue and coloured with promarkers before being applied with multi-medium. I had real fun making this project and will try something similar another time - it's a great way to try out techniques and use different stamps.
It's great that you found a way around not having a die. The Crackle looks fabulous and those flowers have worked very well indeed! Julie Ann xx

Oh it is stunning! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSarah it looks fabulous. And I really, really like the idea of cutting out and arranging separate bricks, that a cracking alternative to the stencil! Good plan Stan!
