Hello everyone! I'm here today to share my take on the Prima Product Pick
for August, sliding in by the skin of my teeth as it is due in today...
The new Coffee Break collection hasn't landed on our shores here in
South Africa yet so I used one of the new Bloom girls stamps instead.
I have never coloured in a stamped image before & own NO copics at all
so I used some watercolours with a brush & didn't worry to try to make it perfect.
I absolutely LOVED the colours of this product pick & used all sorts of pretty
bits & pieces I had lying around my desk, including a Prima vine, misted up
with some Color Bloom spray, a Prima clear pebble, Prima wooden clock
face & Ingvild Bolme metal title, as well as a Finnabair stamp.
I also used some lovely Prima lace that I misted up too. The base of this project
is a 7 1/4 inch framed shadow box that I gessoed up, added some blue water colour
into the mix, dried it off, sanded the entire box/frame then dry brushed on some
pink chalkboard paint & finally sealed everything with glossy acrylic glaze.
I am sending this piece off to Australia for a charity auction I've been asked
it's merry way. Well I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend. Mine has
been busy & I have lots still to do this evening so goodbye for now :)
