Hello gorgeous gang!
It’s Anat here and for today’s blog post I would like to show you how I’ve created Dovecote Cards set using our fantastic Lindy’s paints. I used just a few mixed media products together with a variety of Lindy’s gorgeous items. I hope you will find my techniques and tips interesting, whether you are a beginner or an advanced artist.
So let’s start…
Basic Process
- I designed and cut 3 Dovecote (birdhouse) shapes out of cardboard and primed them with White Heavy Gesso
- Next, I covered each with a different Tissue Paper using soft gel
- When dry, I spread Plaster Paste using a stencil and quickly, before drying, I added on top and Heat Embossed one of this 3 Lindy’s Embossing Powders: Midnight Copper, Cleopatra’s Copper, Bling-y Blonde
- Now time to add gorgeous sprays to each card:
1. Buccaneer Bay Blue Moon Shadow Spray
2. California Poppy Gold and Mission Bells Brown Starburst Sprays
3. Jazzy Jivin Purple and Milk Chocolate Brown Starburst Sprays - After drying I rubbed a bit of Metalique waxes on the cards
- Next, I colored the chipboard pieces I will be using on my cards:
– Beaver Tail Brown, Loonie Toonie Teal Squirts
– Ponderosa Pines Olive, Marigod Yellow Orange Starburst Sprays
– Aged Copper, Antique Gold, Glittering Gold
- I dried them and adhered them to the cards, added on top some resin pieces and colored them with the same Lindy’s products
- Last steps were:
1. Adding Glass Glitter and Micro Beads
2. Splatter White Acyrilic paint
The video tutorial shows the process of the creation of the cards and you can watch it here:
