Anything but a Card is Fools Gold *

I must admit I felt a little stumped to come up with something relating to Fools Gold.  Then it came to me a few sun rays bouncing off a wall with a pile of fools gold.  And there you have it.  I used 2 stencils with modelling paste.  Painted the sky and rays dark blue, red, orange gold until I got the effect I wanted.  I pained the bricks brown and tan.  I then used alot of grotty plastic faceted beads I had lying about and stuck them in a pile.  I painted them over using gold and red paint.  Once all painting finished I used 3 Inka golds, copper, champagne gold and gold to give the shining effect.  That's it folks!

Anything but a card ''FIVE'' Challenge *

On the 5th Sunday of the month ABAC run a mini challenge.  Make something relevant to the number 5 so I have put together a canvas using many elements but have included 5 birds, five mini flowers and fiver larger flowers.  

I used modelling paste and clock stencil.  I used a few of my own crochet flowers and butterflies (now drenched in paint lol).  I used a lot of bits from my oddment box so pleased with myself there at least.  

Now back to the post - Once placing everything I sprayed it using dylusions and color wash.  

I then used my new primary elements powder paint and inka gold to highlight the elements.

I am unsure it worked for me and maybe ruined it a little but here it is anyway and apologies for all the pics.

Why not head on over to ABAC and join in with our mini challenge for the month.

Hugz to all and happy crafting xx
