Hi everyone, I am here with a simple and easy name plate that you can make and decorate your home with...

To start with lightly sanded an MDF base and clean it with a dry cloth. I have used a tray here. Then apply Chocolate Brown shade of Chalk Paint to the inside of the base and Ocean Blue for the outside of the base.

Once the chalk paint is dry, cut down pattern paper to the fit inside the base, distress it with ink and glue it to the base. 

Then, choose a few chipboard embellishments and and distress them with distress inks randomly. Finally glue them on the inner base.

Use MDF letters for the desired name and paint them with chalk paint and distress the edges with inks. Arrange and glue them inside the base. To decorate further, use flowers, leaves and other embellishments from your stash around the frame.

Adventure Shadow Box by DT Monica

Hi everyone,

 

Monica, here  I am back with an inspiration post. I made a Mixed Media Shadowbox and I titled this "Adventure".

For this, I took an MDF square shadow box measuring 6*6". I sanded the box roughly and cleaned it. Next, I brushed it with Papericious Black Heavy Gesso. Once it dried, I  used a brick stencil with Prima sand texture paste to add some texture inside and outside of the box. I added embellishments and used a cardboard with twine around it and stuck it to the base. I again brushed everything with gesso, and once dry I started adding colours. I used Prima Art Alchemy Light Gold, Aged Bronze and some acrylic colours Burnt Sienna, Prussian Blue and White.

Materials: 

• Mdf shadow box

• Mdf gear embellishments

• Prima sand texture paste

• Prima art alchemy waxes

• Prima typo bulb

• Brick stencil

• Papericious heavy black gesso

• Acrylic paints- Burnt Sienna, Prussian Blue, White, Yellow
