Hello Everyone. A nice afternoon here after a windy and wet Thursday. Chores are done for today, so I thought you might like to see the latest project I created for the Fiskarettes Design team. This one took me out of my comfort zone a little bit, but once I started, the whole idea idea came to fruition. I started by cutting my greyboard to size and embossed it with the Argyle folder. Using black gesso I liberally painted it and let it dry overnight, before giving it a coat of white gesso, when it was completely dry I sanded it down here and there to get the effect I was looking for.
Using a Tim Holt flourish stencil and texture paste I started to embellish it. I cut out Hexagons and Circles with Fiskars handheld punches and again I embossed them with butterflies etc. The bronze metal flowers were given a coat of black and white gesso too, before treating them to a coat of Treasured Pewter gilding wax, love the look of them now.
Next it was time to bring it all together. Everything was given more than a hint of wax too.
Finally in the frame.
Hope you enjoy seeing another of my Fiskars projects. Have a Great weekend. Hugs Rita xxxxx

Wow Rita this looks fabulous! It might have taken you out of your comfort zone but it certainly brought out a creative flair for mixed media. I love the colour tones you have used and your design is beautiful.

Absolutely brilliant, Rita. I love your white on black background, so cool, and the Pewter treatment both of the metal flowers and of your embossed shapes is a magical effect. Love this!
