Paint Pouring

Hi Everybody,

Today I want to share with you the latest project I have completed with Paint Pouring and for this one I am so happy.  And what a difference it has made to the bedroom.

The result is absolutely stunning ... even if I do say so myself.

So here is a very short video of the journey although I haven't shown the actual pour itself.

The canvases where far to large to do in my craft room and I had to move to my garage to do them. There is no camera set up in there and so no filming. But I am working on it !!

The curtains and bedding in the room are new and the carpet is a very pale beige.
One wall has fitted white wardrobes and the other has a large window, the one wall left is cream

I hope you enjoy the little video and I hope you like the end result on the wall.

The paints I used are from various companies but because I needed such a lot to cover the canvases  the white base coat is 

 Dulux Brilliant White Silk Finish Paint 

and I have thinned it to the correct consistency with water.

It saved me a lot of money in White Acrylic Paint and I am more than happy with the finish.

The other colours are Pthalo Green, Orange, Payne's Grey, Coeruleum Blue, Ultramarine Blue.

 24K Gold from Decoart and a little touch of Black.

I did it as a Dutch pour and blew it out with my hairdryer.

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie Art Nouveau Collection

Hi Everybody,

If stamping is your thing then you are going to love this big stamp set.

It is an A4 size and the title is Art Nouveau and it will help you to make some really lovely cards for male and female. 

There is no video to show you with this stamp set but the magazine has lots of inspiration for you to see.

Would you like this set??  Then please leave me a comment with your FULL NAME at the end of the post. From those comments one name will be chosen and notified in a blog post over the weekend.

Can I remind you again that if there is not your full name then you will not be entered into the draw.

Thank you to most of you who are very obliging with this but there are the odd one or two that do not comply.

I am not being awkward about this it just ensures that the prize goes to the correct winner.

 I may have four Sues or three Maggies,  so if they all only added one name it would be very awkward trying to name the winner.

But with a full name then it is easier to get the correct person and send them their prize.

Good Luck everybody

Don’t forget to join me on Craft Stash Facebook Live at 1 pm

Lacey Circles 5x7 Card

Hi Everybody,

Today's card is using the Lacey Nested Circles on a 5x7 Card and it has lots of layers from all the different sized dies in the set. 

Both types of flowers are from my collections and I have added them with a hot glue gun to keep them in place.

There are lovely deep pink roses and some two tone pink tipped flowers. I have dotted glue on them and sprinkled glitter for a sparkly effect.

The sentiment is from the A5 Sentiments #1 and I have stamped it in black ink

The pearls and ribbon are from my stash but just add the finishing touch to my card.

I have also added the easel stand for this card to display it on and it makes a very pretty addition to any card

All my collections are available from Craft Stash and if something should be out of stock then leave your email to be notified when it is back.

More tomorrow ...

Hi Everybody,

How are you coping with the weather ? Although I live near the beach the sea has not encroached on my home at all and we are safe and warm. My heart goes out to all the people having a bad time with floods and the destruction that these storms have caused, as well as those in other parts of the world with fires and earthquakes. I hope it gets better for you soon
