Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by today and apologies
for falling so far behind with your lovely blogs but I have not been well at
all recently. Craft Consortium recently launched a new collection of MDF
products along with glue and brushes to compliment their wonderful range of
Decoupage Papers. You may have tuned into Create and Craft last week and
noticed them being showcased.
My letter rack has been covered in the sheets of Vintage Postcards Decoupage paper, gluing in place and
adding a top coat of glue. I didn't add Gesso to my MDF before adding the paper
as I wanted to keep the muted tones. It also makes great craft storage as well as a letter rack.
Once dry I sanded my edges to give a crisp edge. I also added some gold Embossing Powder around the edges to add a Vintage feel.
I added a layer of felt onto the base.
My butterflies were fussy cut from another Decoupage
Paper and glued in place adding Rhinestones into the centres for a finishing
touch.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I do hope I am able to catch up with all your blogs shortly. Also a big thank you to my darling husband who does my photography and putting my blog posts up for me. I really don't know what I would do without his help.
Crafty Hugs,
