Good morning, I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I'm still recovering from Saturday's Extravaganza Day.... My Inka Gold project today is a mirror........
I applied some Sweet Poppy Pearl Dimension Paste - you can use any texture paste you wish. Pearl is what I had to hand - through the Imagination Crafts' Honeycomb stencil & adhered the words, using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear glue. Then I experimented with the layout of assorted embellishments......
(Square post-its will protect the mirror from paint)
When I was happy with the layout, I glued everything down securely & painted the entire piece with DecoArt white gesso.............
To get an idea of how the colours would look, I used a baby wipe to apply Turquoise, Magenta & Jade Inka Gold. The paints are water-based, so I could remove & reapply them until I was happy................
I added white accents by applying Sweet Poppy white dimension paste through the Imagination Crafts' Leaf Swirl stencil & also used white gesso with a bottle cap & a detail stamp from the Pimpernel Collage stamp set from Imagination Crafts.............
I applied Brown Gold & Gold Inka Golds to the letters & highlighted the embellishments with Hydrangea & more Turquoise..............
The finished mirror..............
Thanks for visiting the blog today, have a great week.
