Hello Lovely people, its been a while I hopped blogs with Heartfelt creation due to various reasons. But now I promised from now onwards I will be a regular on this. Now coming to my project.

Recently I have been indulged in lot of distress inks techniques and painting. So I thought lets use the same and then create something beautiful which is quick and creative.

Created a distress ink background with lots of stamping , heat embossing and dry embossing with the help of Dogwood flower stamps and also leave image. Later sprinkled some water and heat set it.

In order to assemble , nested two oval shape dies and die cut a white paper. Also offset oval nested dies and created the inner die cut shape.

For the motifs , white heat embossed two flower image from the dogwood collection and then white water color them. Kept it simple since it will be laid on a busy background. Tucked in leaves which is white embossed on a vellum sheet.

Finished it with a sentiment and inserted it in between the flower arranegement.

Hello Friends,

Piyanki here today with another exciting, fun project featuring the Craftreat Stencils. You must have seen the array of home decor stencils that are there in the Craftreat catalogue.

Today;s project is a form of wall art and is a fun technique to work with Stencil. Let me give some peak into the projects.

Steps:
1 -  Apply a thin coat of White Gesso on all the wooden plaques and let it dry.
2 -  Apply a think coat of any dark shade chalk paints. Rub some candle stick on the surface to create the chipped edges and also the distress edge.
3 - Once done then apply a lighter shade on top it and let it semi dry.
4 - Once partial dry chip off paints and also sand it with a sanding block so that on some places the background color exposes.
5 - Take your stencil and using a rolling brush transfer the image.
6 - Stamp some images with archival ink( Do not use distress ink here ) to create a background.
7 - Apply antique wax and rub off with a clean cloth.
8 - You can choose to apply a coat of varnish to finish this project.
