Beauty and Grace

I wanted to have another play with my new Finnabair Prima Impasto paints so decided to decorate one of Tim Holtz Etcetera tags.

I began by painting the tag with Cobalt (oh this is going to become a favourite colour for me, I love it!) and then blended Azure towards the bottom of the tag. These paints are gorgeous, so thick in consistency and rich in colour.

I painted one of the Prima Resin Frames this one is called Chantilly Royal with Cobalt Impasto Paint and once dry I then added wax over the top to highlight the wonderful detail. I added some texture behind the frame adding Texture Paste over a Tim Holtz Floral Layering Stencil and then sanding back to add white highlights to the texture. I also added Paper Dolls to the inside of my frame, adding cotton threads behind for added texture.

I also added some Prima Antique Metalware (spoon) which I also painted with the Impasto Paint and then added highlights with wax. I also added a Finnabair rusty heart to the centre of the spoon.

Tim Holtz flowers and heart charm add further interest and dimension to the design.

I added Remnant Rubs for a further layer of interest along with some delicate splatters of white paint. I also included a Finnabair metal butterfly for added dimension and movement.

Clippings Stickers from Tim Holtz were perfect for adding wording.
