Prima PPP May 2014 - "You"

Hi there!

Back again with my take on the Prima May PPP. The colours are absolutely glorious, at first I immediately went for the obvious girly pink and yellow but when I put my photo next to the inspo board it was all wrong. Thinking cap on again and voilà! it was the subdued taupe and cream that became my mains with pops of teal and muted sunflower as accents. The pink can be found in the fussy cut rosebuds tucked under the clusters.

Here is first the inspiration photo to jog your memory;

And here is my take - "You";

 I am absolutely nutters about Prima's wood icons and wooden ATCs, 

they are gorgeous as they are but can also be spruced up 

in any way you like. Chalks, mists, acrylic paint, 

they all look just fabulous on them!

Here I have used chalk edgers with water and a finely tipped

brush for a soft look.

 

I used the same method on the wood icon "&" and then washed it

once with diluted gesso to tone down just an inkling.

 

 Dito with the ornate parts of the resin frames, 

added some itty liquid pearls as well.

 In one of her Live With Prima shows, Sharon Laakkonen showed

how she touched up her resin angels in Liquid Pearls to

get a more shabby look to them. 

Thank you for the tip Sharon, it works magic!

Something else that I am absolutely crazy about, are

the SIIC. I think I have used about 10 packs of both the

Sea Shore and Time Traveler's ones since they were released.

The golden ones - I just say aaaaaahhh!
