Chillin' - Laura Gilhuly

With the background papers being quite grungy in nature, I followed this theme onto the chipboard.

After covering the chipboard with white gesso I applied texture paste, giving the
pieces a rustic feel.

Once the texture paste dried, I have then applied some colour.

I then applied varying colours of mists and inks.

I wanted to highlight the red and teal in the papers so I used a bit of red mist and teal paint
 to highlight areas of the chipboard and teal on the title to make it stand out.



  I dry brushed a cream coloured paint over the textured areas of the chipboard to highlight the texture.  I also added some art stones as a finishing touch.


Hope you have been inspired today to get crafty!
