MDF Sleigh - Jen Burns

 

Hello everyone and welcome to the blog today where I have constructed the NEW MDF Sleigh (Small) that holds a wonderful Christmas pudding smelling candle for a display.

I also have a quick video tutorial to share

HERE on Youtube

First you need to cut the pieces out of the MDF sheet carefully. 

I have then labelled the "inside" of my pieces as I only wanted to cover with paper on the outside. 

I have then used liquid glue to adhere the outside pieces to the paper.

I then spray painted all of the inside pieces with Silver spray paint. When it was all dry I used my craft knife to cut around the paper for the shape and sanded all of the edges then used Gathered Twigs Distress ink around all of the edges.

The Baubles and Branch & Berries I have spray painted with white on BOTH side of the chipboard.

I have then used florist foam to put in the bottom of the sleigh and calved out a circle for the candle to sit into. I then added my Poinsettias and Christmas Baubles. The Berries I have painted with Gold on both sides and then added them to the arrangement.

This Was Super Fun - Jen Burns - Mood Board Inspiration

  

How awesome does this Tree Climb walk look right at our own backdoor at Yanchep National Park? Kyden and his Brothers had "Super Fun" 
The new 3Quarter Designs with Dusty Attic new collection called "Incredible Journeys" is perfect for these photos.

I have started with one of the new awesome Collage Frameworks Frames and painted with Stamperia Grey paint Dark to light Ombre style with dry brushing some light highlights. I have also painted the Hexagons by Nuneka the same way and added them to the sides of the framework.

The Toadstools pack 1 and 2 have been painted to look like mushrooms and layered at the bottom Cluster along with some foliage and mini Cobblestones.

"This was Super Fun" title was painted with Stamperia paints in an ombre fashion starting with Tortora at the top then Cappuccino and finished with Mattone which has also been used to paint the mini Filmstrips. Super Gold has been dry brushed over the top to add highlights.

Escape Outdoors - Jen Burns

 

Hello Dusty FANattics 

Today I have a nature inspired layout of Kyden out and about last year at a park with Mason and Rivah. 

I started with adding circles from the Dots Stencil underneath and around the photos plus in the corners on the right top and bottom.

I have used dark brown paint as my main colour then used lighter shades from there. Using the Honeycomb panel and some of the pieces I have snipped part of it to add to the top left corner and right hand side of the photos as part of a cluster.

One of the Geo Tribal arrows has been added to the bottom with dry brushing and an added cog with a brad in the centre.

My title "Escape Outdoors" has been painting in Ombre browns then split to the top and bottom of the photographs.

The Industrial Clusters are amazing and add a huge variety of different elements, I have added some of the Broken Bits Rings and some cogs and brads. I have done the same with the Industrial corner piece at the top left.

I have then added 49 and Market laser cuts from the Vintage Artistry Nature Study collection into different clusters together with my chipboard elements
