Hello creative souls, DT member Hema Bhat here today with an inspirational project for the blog challenge#31 – Anything goes with Multi surface paints.

The newly released archival multi-surface paints are

Premium water based, acid free, non-toxic, suitable to be applied on various surfaces
Satin finish with great coverage
Suitable for indoor and outdoor usage
Can be used on various surfaces including paper, clay, glass, metal, plastic, terracotta, ceramic etc.
Self sealing, requires no primer or varnish

Using these amazing paints I have created a beautiful and quick wall decor.

Here’s the step by step tutorial:

I had this old MDF dry fruit tray in my stash which I wanted to upcycle into a wall decor. I started by sanding it until the old paper and glue was gone. Then I used a wet wipe to clean it and let it dry.

I gave 2 coats of gesso as the MDF was old. But you can skip this and use the multi-surface paints directly as they don’t need a primer.

Next, I used a floral stencil on the base of the MDF panel using Little Birdie mixed media paste and a palette knife. I used masking tape around the design I needed to do that before I started to work on it.

I had a 6*6 inch MDF which I wanted to place in the centre of the panel. Using Little Birdie Deco Magic I adhered a design from the filament paper – Unicorn Dreams. I sealed the paper using the same glue. Once it dried, I sanded off the edges and painted the edges with multi-surface paint – Pink Swirl. I adhered it with wood glue after I highlighted the stencil design with Pink Swirl and Dandelion multi-surface paints with the help of a sponge dauber.

I painted the outer side of the panel by mixing Snow Dove, Sea Wave and Lime Punch. I then mixed Lime Punch, Snow Dove, Dandelion and Sea Wave to Mixed Media paste to get a light teal colour and applied it on 4*4 inch stencil – Mountain Peaks with a palette knife. I created a pattern on the edges.

I used Mont Marte clay on Resin Silicone Mould- Spring Garden and made few clay embellishments. I simply loved the result, so thought of adding clay leaves to my project. I painted them with Multi surface paints and highlighted the lines with Little Birdie metallic wax – Antique Gold.

Finally I sealed everything with 2 coats of Little Birdie Deco Varnish Glossy with 6 to 8 hours drying time between each coat.

The project looked incomplete without some beautiful Little Birdie handmade flowers. Hence I adhered them using silicon glue. I have fixed a hook at the back to hang it on the wall. My wall decor is ready.
