Well, cutting it fine again this week, but I've managed it just in time... although the glue is still wet!
Before you read on, please go to Hels' blog to read about this week's challenge.
I started with a coat of DecoArt americana Decou-page matte before giving the bottle holder a base coat of ecogreen crafts acrylic in butternut. Once this had dried, I decided that it was not 'flamey' enough and instead used a combination of 3 shades of docrafts acrylic paints with a craft sponge (guava, deep orange and raspberry).

Once the paint had dried, I stamped the paisleys using Ranger Archival ink in Sienna. then I added paper flowers and some metal embellies. As I said above, the glue is still wet which is why the shots are from the side!
Once the glue is dry, there a few more embellies for the other sides and then this will become a tool storage organiser pot in my new craft room!
Thanks for stopping by, EmmiLu.
At the start of the year I decided that I would attempt to make all of Hels' Sunday Stamper challenges in 2014. Well, it hasn't gone quite to plan, but I finally managed a second one on time!! (the first one was submitted via facebook, back in January!!) You can check out Hels' Challenge for the week here.
I started by applying a layer of AmericanaDecou-page matte before painting the bottle holder green; actually, the colour you see is about the 3rd coat as I kept mixing until I found a shade that I liked!! (I have used a mix of docrafts and ecogreen crafts acrylic paints)
Once the paint was dry, I stencilled on some scattered honeycomb shapes using a slightly yellower shade of my green mix. Last job before sticking on the paper flowers was to stamp on some scattered flowers using Library Green archival ink.
I hope you like it; thanks for stopping by.
