Faith and Patina Effects by Pentart with Ulrika

Easter Party by Ulrika Wandler

Hi! I'm inviting you to an Easter party! I have lots of eggs and some candy for you! Let me show you what I made for the party using BoBunnys gorgeous new collection, Faith.

I would also like to show you the Pentart products to use for making a patina effect.

To make the egg and the small wooden tray look aged I used these great products.

First apply a good layer of white gesso and immediately dust a very small amount Patina Effect Powder on it. The easiest technique is to load just a teeny bit of the powder on the tip of the spatula, then tap it very very gently so just a light dusting of the powder falls onto the wet gesso. It can be evenly distributed but is actually not totally necessary since the finished look is somewhat uneven when done. Use a spatula to spread the powder in the gesso, again, unevenly is best. Then use the droppers of reagents to make the final touch. There are three colors, so use some of each to achieve the right look and feel

You can watch this tutorial (after you see the rest of the blog, of course!) on how to use these products:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOM2VRufVYs

This is my egg. I added some Gold Antique Paste and Gold Glitter Paste on it once it was dry.

The wooden tray turned out perfectly, with a gorgeous antique copper patina.  Wasn't that simple and fun?

These sweet candy bags got that little extra special touch with some die cut butterflies!

This is a carrot... Can you see it? It's orange, and it has that green stuff on top. A carrot! *giggle*

Thanks for dropping in for this fun project today!  See you all soon!

Petal Lane and Pentart Lasur for Interiors with Ulrika

Fine Art on Easel by Ulrika Wandler

Hi all you scrappin' people out there! Ulrika here to show you this fine art piece and easel treated with Pentart Lasur which I made.

I started with using Pentarts Lasur for indoor use on the wooden easel.

When the lasur had dried I used the Pentart metallic Wax Paste and applied it gently with my fingertip. Both are easy to use.

Then I made this canvas, starting with making a crackle background with Pentart crackle paint. I have used papers and embellishments from the brand new Petal Lane collection!

I love how the ebony-colored lasur paint makes the perfect background for the pink and yellow fine art!

I used a lot of pretty chipboard pieces on my canvas.

Chalkboard Project with Ulrika

Chalkboard by Ulrika Wandler

Hi there! Ulrika here to show you how I made a piece of a cutting board into a chalkboard!

 

So, I had this cutting board from Ikea that lasted for a year or so. Then it cracked in the middle.... so rather than throwing it in the trash, I used one of the halves to make a chalkboard to write on using Pentarts fabulous chalkboard paint!

 

I started with painting the wooden piece with the chalkboard paint. After that I painted the edges with Pentart creamy acrylic paint in white. Then I adhered some strips of patterned paper along the edges.



I decorated with diecuts, flowers, chipboard pieces and stickers. I also made it bling with some Double Dot jewels.
