Assembled Art Piece

Happy 4th of July Weekend to those of you who celebrate :-)

I wanted to share with you a fun project I've been working on this week. It wasn't intentionally a Bombshell Stamps project - but I can't resist using them whenever I'm playing. They're so cool!

I used my awesome Color Kits from Gauche Alchemy. A project like this is so much easier when someone gathers all the pieces for you - it left me free to do creating, not shopping/scrounging.

frame. This one called to me as I liked the three recessed cut outs. Paint to front and sides your main color with acrylic paint.

Paint inside the frame holes with your complimentary color and sprinkle clear glitter over the wet paint. Move the glitter around until all sides are sparkly.

Once you've got that done, start gluing on doo-dads and making little scenes in each space.

I recommend sticking to a color scheme so it doesn't get too crazy but crazy can also be awesome. In this case, I used red as my main color, turquoise as my accent color and black and white.
