and CHALKPAINTS- Hazy Cucumber, Surfing Bay and Icy Marine
Here is my T-LIGHT HOLDER
A BRIEF TUTORIAL:
- Prime the mdf base with 2 thin layers of gesso.
- Paint the surface starting with Hazy Cucumber Chalk paint at the top, Surfing Bay chalk paint in the middle and Icy Marine chalk paint at the bottom with a sponge dabber.
These chalk paints have a very nice consistency and easy to apply. - Stamp the images from the Durga Stamp set with Black archival ink, colour it with distress inks and fussy cut the images.
- Using the Spiral burst stencil, apply the Chocolate Shimmer paste through it.
- Foam mount the Durga image in the middle of the stencil.
- Stick the other coloured images on the opposite sides of the tlight holder with double adhesive tape.
- Stamp the sentiments on the fourth side of the holder and also on the top using the Black archival ink.
- Seal the project with a layer of varnish and the pretty tlight holder is ready to be added in your Puja room 🙂
