Hello creative friends!
This is Tanvi & hope you all are enjoying the recent launches by Itsy Bitsy, the star being the archival multi-surface paints. These paints can be used on almost any surface including paper, clay, glass, metal, plastic, terracotta, ceramic etc. Also, these are water based, acid free & non-toxic with a satin finish.
I altered a free standing MDF word that I had kept for my kitchen.
These multi-surface paints need no priming & I covered the lower half of the word with Tangy Tomato paint. Loved the coverage & the satin finish of this paint.
For the upper half I mixed Dandelion shade with crackle paste & applied it.
It did tone down the colour a bit, that’s what I was looking for.
For the lower half too, I wanted a crackled look & applied 1 step crackle medium.
For the top coat I used the Dandelion shade & absolutely loved the cracks that appeared as the paint dried.
At this stage I decided to cover the upper half (crackle paste) with the same yellow shade – Dandelion.
Randomly stencilled motifs to add interest & none of my projects are complete without tinted metallic paints.
The multi surface paints are self-sealing & require no varnish. My base was now prepped for embellishing.
Here’s where the Little Birdies handmade flowers & ephemera come handy. Like all crafters, I too hoard a lot of them.
Here is the final look of the alteration & some close ups.
Hope you will give these paints a try & share your creations with us. Participate in the ongoing blog challenge#31 which is ‘Anything goes with Little Birdie archival multi-surface paints’.
Let me also tell you they are suitable for indoor and outdoor usage, so bring out those brushes & redo the planters, bottles, panels, buckets or tables!
