Little Kingdom key holder
When the wonderful Little Kingdom Stamp Soup set were released, I wanted to do several things on the one project ... use my pan pastels, stamp (obviously), use stampbord and paper piece. Well if I'm 100% honest, things morphed and that's why I managed to use/cover so many techniques.
I painted an MDF key shape with gesso and once dry, covered the complete shape in white pearl medium pan pastel. This gave the whole piece a pearlescent look. I then sanded back the edges, exposing the MDF and covered these with the white fine pearl pan pastel. Sadly my photograph do not show 1] the pearlescent shimmer, 2] the distress effect on the edges.
I printed out all the papers from the matching Little Kingdom CD, 4 designs to a page. I began to stamp all the different components of the houses on to the papers and then began randomly piecing the houses back together. It was great fun and can a really random effect. I glued each house in place and then covered the complete key with a layer of Maimeri matt gel medium. I added the hooks and wire hanger as my finishing touches.
The stampbord key ring was made by gluing 2 pieces of stampbord together (from mixed shape pack). On the top layer, I used turquoise blue pan pastel to create the sky. Still using the left over stamped images on the paper, I paper pieced together another house. A bit of doodling around the edge and it was complete. I covered the completed piece with perfect medium and then applied a layer of embossing powder.
I thoroughly enjoyed making this as it was a complete and utter "escape" piece. Yep, I just let my mind escape from the confines of my head, and do it's "own thing" ...
Where have you escaped to on a crafting adventure recent;y?
