Festive Ornaments

Hello,   Kay M here today with an experiment with the acrylic pours  Kay launched on Hochanda at the weekend.  You can still watch all her shows on Rewind at the Hochanda web site.   I had so much fun making samples for the shows and learnt a lot  in the process.   The great thing about acrylic pouring you never know how it's going to turn out!  Kay's  Go-Flow and Cell-u-Like formula's take the guesswork out of measuring all the elements and work with all  the IndigoBlu paints.       

Having done a few projects on flat surfaces I thought I'll have a go on some shapes, a few paper mache  ornaments from my stash.   Sue, from the  TV design team did a couple of lovely egg shaped ones as samples for Kay's shows.  

They were painted with Gee-Sso-Good white and set up over a foil tray.  

The  paints, the new Red Hot Chilli, Purple Rain, and Teal for Two  as well as Cinderella, Black Gee-Sso-Good and Gold Luscious pigment too  were mixed in shot glasses with out adding any water.  A few drops of Cell-u-like were added to three of the paints.   I had already made up white following the instructions that come to the Go-Flow and Cell-u-Like.

Each ornament was thickly painted with the white mixture then the colours were added to the top of each ornament one on top of another and letting them drop though each other and mingle. 

  They were left to dry.    They were then given two coats of Glossy Slap-It-On mixed with a pinch of Unicorn Sparkles. 

And when dry beads and tassel's were added.  It was interesting to see how each one was different when the same paint colours were used.

There was still a fair amount of paint left so I did a dirty pour on to an A5 canvas painted with black Gee-Sso-Good using all the remaining paints, added a little water to each of them to get a good pour, and the white base.

Check in to the shared blog on the 19th November to see how it turned out!  

Until then, take care Kay M x

Jewel and Roses

Hello it's Kay here,  I do hope you enjoy my first post for this year's IDT, loving the work from the other ladies, it seems we all have fallen for Jewel!

 I've used the fabulous new Luscious powders, Extra Thick Slap-it-on, Rose stencil, Jewel, Spirit of Christmas, Unicorn Sparkles AND a sneaky peek at the soon to be released 6x6 paper pads!!   This is a board inspired by the Finnabair class on this year's Wanderlust journey. 

The 6" square canvas board was painted with Black Gee-Sso-Good, then small squares of the new papers were adhered on top with Slap-It-On-Matt, Extra Thick Slap-It-On was applied through the rose stencil.  This was then left to dry.

Texture elements- buttons, mesh, hot glue dots, chip board shapes were then applied using the Slap-It-On to the centre area of the board.  When dry these were then painted with Black Gee-Sso-Good and left to dry.  A small amount of Black Gee-Sso-Good was mixed with Slap-It-On Gloss and this was used as a wash over the whole board and to soften the margin of the black painted area and left to dry.

Out came the Luscious! Coral, purple and teal powders were dusted over the board and missed with water to set.  Jewel and the sentiments where stamped in black ink and heat embossed in clear powder, these were coloured with gold Luscious.

Paper roses were painted black and coloured with the purple and teal and foliage with gold Luscious powders.  These were attached to the board and silver Luscious mixed with water and applied to highlight raised areas before Jewel and the sentiments were adhered.

To finish,  dots of FlitterGlu were added around Jewel and Unicorn Sparkles applied, magical!

I really had fun making this board and hope you have enjoyed it too.

Take care,  Kay M x
