Maya Road Sneak Peek 3

Jan 22, 2012

I’m really lik­ing all the wood items Maya Road is releas­ing at CHA. You can alter these in so many dif­fer­ent ways. I applied watered down Espresso Brown Maya Mist on the Wooden Doily then once dry lightly rubbed a Maya Road Gold Ink Pad around the edges. This gave the doily a nice aged look.

Next, I painted the entire top side of the Wooden Bird with a thin layer of acrylic paint, while the paint was still wet I sprin­kled a light coat­ing of Maya Road Iri­des­cent Glit­ter on top. Once the paint was dry I cov­ered the top of the bird with two lay­ers of Dia­mond Glaze, mak­ing sure it dried com­pletely in between each layer. The top of the bird is accented with vin­tage but­tons, a piece of Vin­tage Rhine­stone Emer­ald Trim and the word “art” from the Art Jour­nal­ing Words Clear Stamp Set.

The Wood Doily on this piece I left raw and decided to cov­ered it with Martha Stew­art Crys­tal Coarse Glit­ter then accented the edges using Gold Stick­les. I placed the altered Wood Bird on top of a Vin­tage Mini Ruler and accented that using a Vin­tage Sequins Blos­som and a Sil­ver Mum from the Vin­tage Lace Trim. The word “fly” is from the Wings To Fly Birds Clear Stamp Set and is framed using a gold painted square from the Scal­lop Frames Mini Chip­board Set. This piece is going to be placed in a shadow box style frame and hang in my scrap­room once CHA is over. I love the look and the color scheme.

See ya tomorrow.

Hugs!
