Follow the yellow brick road...

Sarah Hurley - Illustrator & Craft Designer - Crafts, Illustration, Inspiration & Vintage

Its here Sarah's 3rd edition of the
Lookbook a freebie book 
Its a must for stunning artwork and ideas
 from the design team
and also :) included is my clock.
I have used the images from Sarah's Oz Digi & Scrapbooking kit which I coloured with
Promarkers and then cut out to go on the clock.

How I made the clock , I used a MDF square which I marked out the road
in pencil.
 I then painted  it with white gesso and let it dry.
 I then  mixed Gesso and yellow acrylic  paint for the road
and let it dry overnight,
The next day I darkened the road and added the green paint and then stippled dark green to make the grass and give the clock texture.
After that I used a brick stamp to stamp pigment ink onto the road and embossed it with clear embossing powder,
I then placed my figures on the road and glued them down with PVA glue. For the numbers I used papermania  glitter numbers . Instead of 10 its Tin and 2 is OZ just to give it the "OZ" feel.
Once I was happy with positioning  of everything I then  painted over it with glossy accents to ensure it lasts.
Finally I fitted my clock mechanisms and I have a lovely working clock.
Thanks for stopping by.

Anything but a card,

Hi Its my  first official week joining  Abbie's Team A at Artistic Inspirations
  This weeks challenge is anything but a card and 
our sponsor is

The winner of this weeks challenge will receive 5 digi images.

I decided to use
sunflower 1
I love sunflowers, I decided to make a wall hanging for the kitchen. I used the large size of the MDF hearts from Indigo Blu.

Which I painted with white Gesso mixed with a yellow acrylic paint,once dry I added green acrylic to the paint and using a stencil brush added it around the border. This was left to dry overnight in the morinig I added some gold giliding wax around the edge. While the heart was drying I coloured my 2 sizes of sunflowers with Pro-markers. Then I cut them all out, most were just the small flower heads but for the border I cut out the full flower. I then used "live your dreams" stamp from Visible Image and stamped in Black Stazon. Once I decided where I was placing the flowers I stuck them down with PVA glue which dries white. Once dry I  painted with clear gloss due to it being hung in the kitchen.
