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:
