The books I'll be coloring out of are
For my first project I used a piece of art from my This 'n That Book by Lindsay Ostrom. As soon as I saw it, I knew in an instant I would be coloring it for my first "whatever" project.
I watercolored the whole image and then painted the outer edges with gold acrylic paint. I mod podged the image onto a plaque I had and waited for it to dry. Then I aded some detail to it like the pearl drops. I added eye screws and wire for the hanger and voila!!....a cute home decor item.
My next item is from the Christmas coloring book also by artist Lindsay Ostrom. I made a quick and easy Christmas plaque using heavy chipboard/mat board. I added some Stickles and Tinsel glitter for sparkle and flower pearls that looked like snowflakes for some pop. The swirls were painted using Yasutomo Shimmer/Pearlescent Watercolor Paints. I punched holes and added eyelets to add some MayArts twine to use as a decorative hanger.
Now, I had two other cards, but my dog knocked them down into their water so I have to quickly make two more projects. But those are the two I have so far. Please come back and check for my others.
**Newly added project: Here is my newest project I just finished. Chip Sample Christmas Ornament!
For this I simply Mod Podged the art onto the chip sample (You can get these for FREE at Home Depot in the kitchen counters section). In this case, I had to punch a hole through so I added an eyelet and strung some MayArts twine through and added a couple of beads. The Stickles still sparkles through the Mod Podge.Isn't that the sweetest face ever??????
I have one more project coming....
AND here it is...FINALLY....
This is from the Christmas Coloring Book. I painted it using the Yasutomo Pearl Paints. Then embellished the snowflakes and dots with pearl drops and Stickles. As well as a die cut layered snowflake and a cute charm. This one was fun to do because it was "coooold" lol.
My clue word is: Color
