To create the flower center punch a circle from a Scrapbook Adhesive Sheet, coil the Bernat Maker – Home Décor Yarn from the outside into the center.

Punch a circle from card stock apply a generous amount of Mod Podge around the edge of the cardstock.  Folding the 3-inch strips in half, attach to the card stock to create petals of the flower.  Repeat adding two inner rings of petals by adding Mod Podge at the tip of the outer layer of petals.

favecrafts Best Blogger Contest

In January when I went to Creativation 2017 (previously known as CHA) I had the privilege to attend the PRIME VIB's Best Blogger Event!  There we networked with vendors, learn about their products and have the opportunity to work with some of their products.

 

Today I am sharing a Wall Décor I created for the Best Blogger Event Contest 2017.  I hope you enjoy this and are inspired to try your hand at making your own wall décor.

 

 

"Rich Jade & Satin Peacock"

 

 

For this project, I repurposed a 16 x 20 canvas from another project started and never finished.  The papers and paints on the canvas gave the new project more layers of dimension under the Rust-oleum paints. 

Supplies:

16 x 20 stretch canvas

10 x 12 pattern tissue

Rust-oleum Gloss Rich Jade

Rust-oleum Gloss Satin Ink Blue

Trestors Gold Ore 79630 Glitter Paint

Trestors Craft Paint Gold Dore Dorado

Trestors Craft Estrella De Rock

Trestors Super Glue

Mod Podge Matte

Brick Stencil

Black Crackle Paste

Spray water bottle
Paint Brush

Peacock Feather

 

Following the instructions on the Rust-oleum Gloss Rich Jade, spray one-half of canvas, let set a few minutes.  Paint the other half of the canvas with the Rust-oleum Gloss Satin Ink Blue, over lapping the Rich Jade.  Be sure to paint the sides of the canvas.  If necessary, spray a second coat for good coverage.  Let dry.

 

Spritz 10 x 12 pattern tissue with water.

 

 

 Next day, apply a layer of Mod Podge Matte to the canvas.

 Carefully lay on the layer of Mod Podge Matte.  Apply another layer of Mod Podge Matte over the tissue.

Let dry.

 

With brick stencil randomly add black crackle paste, set aside to dry.

 

 

Lightly spray with Trestors Craft Paint Gold Dore Dorado

  

 

Mix Trestors Craft Paint Gold Dore Dorado and Trestors Craft Estrella De Rock, apply lightly around the edges of the canvas to create a frame.  

 

Finally attach Peacock Feather with Trestors Super Glue
