This is what Marelle tells us about this gorgeous creation:
I am renaming this
gorgeous Molossi MDF tree The Tree of Love, or The Tree of Hearts!!!
Products used : from
Molossi: The Love Tree: Derivan Matisse Transparent Gesso
Student fine art
white paint by Global
Student fine art red
paint by Global
Modelling Paste
Chroma Student
Arcylic paint in Magenta
Tim Holtz typewriter
words
These trees can be
used in many ways: paint them pink or blue and use them for guests to sign for
Baby’s First Birthday!
They can also be
painted white for wedding table centrepieces – or as “money trees at a wedding”
They would also make
an amazing 21st present painted in the fave colour of the birthday
boy or girl
They would also be
fabulous for a Christening, Baby Shower, Mother’s Day Present – the list is
endless!
I am going to mix
media the tree and show you how easy it is to make it look a little different!!
I mixed some Derivan
Matisee Transparent Gesso Pastel Primer with some white Student paint and gave
the tree 2 coats of this mixture : remember to paint both sides!
Next I mixed some
Global Student impasto paint in red with some Global white and made a pretty
pink colour. I coated the tree twice in
this colour.
Next I took my old
favourite some modelling paste and mixed it with some bright pink paint.
I dabbed this mixture
all over my Love Tree and left it to dry.
I love the effect : it looks like floaty fairy
floss! By using the Modelling Paste it has given the tree depth and of course
my favourite word texture
Next I took Tim Holtz
typewriter positive words and randomly placed them over the tree on both sides.
Next I used some very
fine white craft ribbon and tied bows on either side of the tree, again randomly.
I imagine this tree
to be the centrepiece of a lolly buffet at a Birthday Party for a baby Girl
turning 1!
What a beautiful
keepsake for years to come.
