'Memories' in a frame

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a small project in a frame I created for my art wall

with ColourArte Silks acrylic paints.

For this project I used:

ColourArte products

• Silks: Warm Grey, Silver Bells, Guatemalan Green, Meridian Blue

Other products:

• White Heavy Gesso
• craft glue
• wooden canvas sticks
• 7Dots Studio 'Domestic Goddess' collection word sticker
• black frame

So, let's get started.

First step was to paint the wooden sticks with the Silks. I chose some of my favorite colors in green, blue and grey shades and used a paintbrush to apply them on the sticks. They dry pretty quickly and I love how rich the colors look after they are dry!

I also painted some of the sticks with white gesso. 

After they were dry I used the craft glue to glue them down randomly. 

I wanted to keep it simple with a clean and clear look, so I didn't use any paint on the background. 

The only thing to do after the sticks were in place, was to glue a word sticker.

That was pretty much all! I really love the finished look and that Summer feeling it gives at my wall of art :)

Thank you for visiting!

Have a lovely crafty day!

Art in a frame

Happy Sunday dear friends!

Today I'm hosting the ColourArte blog 

and sharing a small project in a frame I created for my art wall.

I used only a few supplies and with only three steps I ended with a beautiful art piece.

For my project I used:

ColourArte products

• Silks: African Jade, Vintage Mint, Terracotta Rose, Rustic Rose, Black Ice

Other products:

• White Heavy Gesso
• 3D Gloss Gel
• wire
• Art Stones
• Metal Butterfly
• black plastic grass

Step 1. I applied with a sponge a little bit of gesso all over the surface, particularly on the spot I wanted to be the circle with the butterfly.  

Step 2. I glued everything down with 3D Gloss Gel and let it dry.

Step 3. I used my favorite colors of Silks to paint the embellishments.

I sprayed some water here and there to make to paint more fluid.

I also made some splashes with the Black Ice Silk.

And that was it!

Pretty easy and quick, don't you think?

Of course it's already hanging on my wall :)

Thank you for visiting,

have a lovely crafty day!
