MDF Plaque Number 2

-
A few weeks back I posted one of my MDF plaques on the blog, which can be found here: https://lillys-craftcorner.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/mdf-plaque.html. At the time, I actually made 3 (all in slightly different designs), and today I'm sharing another of them. I think this one might actually be my favourite!




 The base plaque is made of MDF that I painted using acrylic paint. I layered up patterned papers in brown and blue tones onto the base, ripping and inking the edges for a distressed look. I added a die cut border and doily, both cut from vellum and lightly inked with Distress Ink. Hessian, inked lace and a pearl swirl (done free-hand using Tonic Nuvo drops) were also added for some texture.




For the focal point I used 2 ripped rectangles of card in blue and cream that were both inked and I offset the blue one on top of the cream one. I die cut the smallest label from Spellbinders decorative labels 8 from blue and added that atop the cream rectangle. I stamped my sentiment onto a cream rectangle that I added to the centre. I die cut flowers from vellum, cream card and blue card and shaped these to give them depth. These were added along with die cut leaves to finish off the project. I had a lot of fun making this! Although it's not a quick project, it's definitely something to get your teeth into and try lots of different techniques.





I will be entering this one into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz Challenge - One For The Girls

Hello all, hope you are well. As some of you may know, I was GDT for Crafty Catz Challenge for January. But they have asked me to stay on as part of their design team...and of course I said yes! We have a new challenge for you today - it is anything goes with the optional theme of "one for the girls". This week Star Stamps is sponsoring us, and they kindly gave us some beautiful images to play with. On my card I have used the Belle Chibi digi stamp. The digi stamp was printed onto Canson "C" à grain paper (it has a bit of a "tooth" to it so is better for use with coloured pencils than a super smooth card) and I coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils. I really enjoyed colouring this one in - I'm pretty happy with how the pleats turned out but I definitely need to practice a bit more! I inked around the edges to give more of a vintage look. The papers are from different pads picked up cheaply (some are some old Paperma...

Crafty Catz Challenge - Black and White

Our new challenge starts today at Crafty Catz , and this week we are anything goes with the optional theme of Black and White. Our generous sponsor is Crafty Sentiments. I had a bit of a play for the first time with my new Scan n Cut CM900 when I was making this card. I cut some of the mats and layers out on the machine, as well as the flowers and leaves. I must say I am impressed with it so far! The centre die is Sue Wilson's Oslo die, with her Happy Birthday Mini Expressions die in the middle. I cut the sentiment 3 times in black card and layered them up to make it more 3D. I have also used Sue Wilson's Diamond Squares background and the Jubilee Petite Striplet for the decorative edges. Some Cosmic Shimmer aurora twinkles glitter glue and some Nuvo oyster white pearl drops were added to finish. I would like to enter this one into the following challenges: Lemon Shortbread #68 anything goes Crafty Gals Corner #166 anything goes Crafting From The H...

Hunkydory Prism Watercolour Pencils

Today I'm sharing my samples made using the brand new Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils. I had such fun working with these pencils as I'd not used watercolour pencils in quite a long time, and these pencils were just a joy to use. This card uses one of the new FTLOS watercolour wonders stamp sets as well as some of the older FTLOS stamp sets for the butterflies and bees. I've also used one of the watercolour wonders stamp sets for this easel card I've used masking with one of the new watercolour wonders stamp sets to create this DL card. This card uses the FTLOS Fly Away With Me stamp set. I've used the FTLOS Up, Up and Away stamp set on this CAS card.   I've stamped the FTLOS Lovely Lilies onto kraft card for this card. This card has been made using the FTLOS Forget Me Nots stamps and the Blossoming Blues stamp set (for the butterflies).  I've heat embossed the Forget Me Not stamps onto kraft card wi...
