A little fun plaque


A little piece of mixed media for this one.  Once again I can't remember where all the bits came from, apart from the fact that I bought them at Farnborough, I do know the sentiment was a SamanthaK one.   The coffee cup was a die from my stash (at this point in time I can't remember who that was from either, and the packaging has gone missing - how do things suddenly disappear off your desk when you have just been using them ?)

The roses were made freehand from Hearty Clay, coloured with a smidgen of food colouring and then brushed with cake decorating dust.  The leaves were done with a cutter, and again coloured and dusted as before.  

The sentiment was glued on the plaque, then the whole thing painted with black gesso, and then overpainted with Pebeo blue/black iridescent paint and finally Pebeo gilding wax in  silver and gold was applied, and the coffee cup, which was cut from Kratt card, had the same applied
