Welcome Back Friends,
Robin here with ScraPerfect Blog, sharing my altered paintbrush, I created using The Best Ever Glue,
the quick stick glue for paper crafting.
Supplies: The Best Ever Glue
Paintbrush
Foam Brush
Stamps of your choice
Card Stock – Kraft
Paint
Word die cut
Embossing powder
Hot Glue Gun
Heat Gun
Here is what I did: I started out by creating my background paper. I used a 12x 12 piece of heavy stock. Using the foam brush, I brushed in haphazard strokes, the darkest of the 3 colors I choose.
A dark tan, let dry, brush on the second color, light beige, let dry. Lastly, I used a doily stamp I had dipped in gold paint and stamped the entire sheet. Let dry. I cut out a tag from heavy stock and covered the tag with my background paper.
I painted the paintbrush and bristles. Using a hot gun I dried the brushes and the bristles, which gives the paintbrush a worn look.
I punched out a large oval from kraft and black polka dotted paper, adhered it to the tag. using The Best Glue Ever.
I stamped the hot air balloon on kraft paper, fussy cut it out and layered it over the oval.
I die cut the word journey out 4 times using kraft paper, stacked and glued them together using The Best Glue Ever, and then heat embossed the word. The word then adhered over the hot air balloon.
I stamped two pieces of ephemera onto the background paper, fussy cut them out.
I finished up by hot gluing all the pieces together for a very cool altered paintbrush!
Thank You for visiting and as always I appreciate your kind comments.
Until Next Time…..
Robin
