Heartfelt Thanks

Wanted to thank a few people so had a bit of a marathon wooden heart making session.

Loved every moment.

Because this is what I just love to do!

Give me a heap of bits & bobs, a sheet of MDF and a whole load of inks and mica powders and I am one very happy bunny.

Next stage spritzing & squirting!

Then they are mica'd & a touch of glitter.

Am not a glitter person.

But sometimes needs must.

And this time just a little was needed.

Apart from the rusty one.

That will never need glitter.

Thank goodness.

Promised a few friends details of what colours I used so here goes:

I had a sort of plan.

Honest!

There was one large heart.

8 medium sizes ones.

And 9 little dinky ones.

I wanted them the same, but different.

Like that makes sense.

SOooooo ...  the medium ones were made up of colours taken from those used on the large heart.

Well, it made sense at the time.

And kinda worked.

Colours used on the large heart were:

Distress Spray Stain

Chipped Sapphire * Bundled Sage * Faded Jeans * Stormy Sky

Dusty Concord * Fossilized Amber * Evergreen Bough

Peacock Feathers * Broken China

Prima Colour Bloom Spray

Pressed Petal * Berry Wise * Mustard Yellow

Prima Art Ingredients Mica Powder

Sunny Yellow * Bottle Green * Teal * Frozen Lake

Purple * Deep Water 

Green Opal Magic * Lilac Opal Magic

You are going to ask which of those I used on the large heart, aren't you?

Er, ALL of them ... yeah, really!!!!!

So, on the other hearts I picked out some of the colours so they all sort of came together as a collection.

Colours on this one were:

Bundled Sage * Faded Jeans * Stormy Sky * Peacock Feathers

Chipped Sapphire * Broken China

AND

whichever mica powders matched.

Colours on this one were:

Fossilized Amber * Mustard Yellow *Chipped Sapphire 

Evergreen Bough * Stormy Sky * Faded Jeans * Bundled Sage

And again whichever mica powders matched.

Colours on this one were:

Bundled Sage * Chipped Sapphire * Peacock Feathers 

Dusty Concord * Pressed Petal * Broken China

Also matching mica powders.

Oh the mica powders are diluted in water by the way.

Or gin.

I often use gin as it evaporates faster than water.

That is an old photo' but evidence of my use of the gin!

Had never done ones this small before but shall certainly do more.

Colours here are:

Fossilized Amber * Mustard Yellow * Chipped Sapphire

Broken China * Bundled Sage

And yes, micas to match.

Figured the blokes would not appreciate flowers so got the rust vibe going:

Only colours used here were mica powders:

Rust * Copper * Bottle Green * Teal

and Rust Paste from Prima.

Tons of it.

I used Art Basics 3D Gloss Gel through the stencils.

Think that covers everything.

Do please ask if you want any further info - am always happy to try and help!
