Perfect - Michelle Van Oudtshoorn

Hello Dusty FANattics

And just like that a quarter of the year has gone - and we just had a wee reminder from Mother Nature that winter is approaching - it sure has been quite chilly here in New Zealand.

Here is my project for April

All chipboard pieces were first prepped with white gesso. Once the gesso was dry, I started with the frames first by spraying them lightly with water. I used a posco pen to colour these frames - they react with water like acrylic paints - and I dabbed dots of colour and let the colour "bleed" into the water droplets. The infinity piece (flourish with the heart) DA3248 and the two monarch butterflies DA2385 were coloured with a combination of 2 coloured Posco pens as a solod colour.

I stacked the frames and adhered these to the page with foam tape. The gesso'd leaves DA1870 were also coloured with a green Posco pen. Once this was dry, I then dribbled glimmer mist spray over the leaves. Once these were dry, I then adhered them around and under the frames before layering the fussy cut flowers and leaves.

I created a cluster for the title DA2575 "Perfect" - also using chippy leaves and layering fussy cut pieces. The title was painted with Art Alchemy Metallique paint.

These are the products
