easter gifts but not in a basket for Frilly and Funkie DT

well the challenge over at Frilly and Funkie this fortnight is to create an Easter or spring gift holder with a difference..and no baskets. Make sure you pop across here and see some of the wonderful Dt makes and hopefully you will be inspired to join in yourself. one lucky person will be picked as winner and another winner chosen at random will receive a $25 gift voucher to spend in the funkiejunkieboutique and believe me this is full of yummy goodies!

So onwards here is my make:

I started with a papier mache cone which I painted with gesso to give a base coat . I then got painty happy with the fab new distress paints...did I say I Love them!? and covered the cone with layers of scattered straw and antique linen.. then realising that was too much for me I spritzed with the fab white linen Dylusions spray, water, more painty drippage (frayed burlap and antique linen ) and voila...

I then used the ledger stamp from ephemera backgrounds from Artistic outpost and stamped in antique linen distress paint. Now for the decorations...

I stamped the eggs I coffee archival ( from Artistic Outpost birds of a feather set) onto tissue paper and left to dry. When dry I added distress paint to the back of the eggs in antique linen and frayed burlap paints using a water brush and left to dry. I then cut them out and applied to the cone using matte multi medium..some of them I added the inked side and some the reverse.

I also added the spring is here sentiment from the same set.

To complete I added a handle of rusty wire and some crochet ribbon and rusty wire around the top. I then cut some old book pages into strips and nestled some chocolate eggs on top.

All the supplies are listed below..hope you will have time to play along and make sure you pop across here for all the fab DT makes.

Also the funkie junkieboutique now has a page on facebook and can be found here.. thanks to the lovely Jenny.

a distressing messy time..

well, a while ago I ordered an early birthday present ( thankfully that milestone has been and gone! ) of some goodies from the lovely Linda at the Funkie Junkie boutique, among them ( yes i was naughty stamps and sprays fell in too!) were the set of fab new distress paints..and guess what they arrived yesterday, so despite a very bad hand hindering my messy play... it seemed rude not to play!
( long story but I went through the door and my left hand decided to stay in the handle..not pretty!! and rather sore! ) - so if I haven't visited I am trying to catch up slowly!!

So as typing is difficult, short and sweet here are the first play results with these fab and I mean yummy scrummy paints..yes I love them!!!

I started by applying weathered wood, antique linen, frayed burlap and broken china paints to a canvas..then spritzing and drying and generally having a ball! Then when dry I edged with vintage photo DI, spritzed and dried and then added some more weathered wood through sequin waste and brushed around the edges.

Then I added some ferro texture taste through sequin waste and heated so it puffs up and dries! cool eh?! Then I brushed some weathered wood across the raised areas.

I think as much as loving the paints its that they are in the yummy distress palette..
So then I added a heart art part which had been painted with weathered wood, and texture paste added through script stencil. I then painted over and when dry edged with vintage phtoto DI.

To complete the canvas I added a flower I made for my Saturday stepXstep using ranger foil..details here and covered in the paint..love the matte look, some rusty wire twirls and also some rusty wings using an Andy Skinner Timeworn technique.

Sorry its a rush.. but my hand has had enough..

I will be round to catch up with all my followers and friends later when hand has had a rest!

I am entering this for the following competitions:
