I started by randomly applying strips of paper to the corrugated cardboard. Then I randomly applied gesso in places. After the gesso was pretty much dry I took a stencil and applied paint. I would use one color with the stencil and then move the stencil and do another color. I wasn't trying to stencil the actual pattern. After the paint was dry I used a couple of green markers with my airbrush. I love the result I got
For my flowers I took wooden pieces by Calico Studio and airbrushed them. Then I glued a gem in the center. For my stems I used a chenille stem which I also airbrushed since it was originally white,
As I said in my last post the eBrush twinchie challenge ends Sunday. It was fun to see what I could do with such a small size and to try new things. Who knew that ordinary corrugated cardboard could turn out so pretty.
Wishing you Happy Frugal Crafting till we meet again!
The colour you used on your cardboard is awesome. Cut idea to decorate with pipe cleaners and flowers.
ReplyDeleteWell it is certainly a different look from just plain old cardboard. Very pretty.
