I was making a shopping list for Sunday over at PaperArtsy and I remembered I'd bought the puff paint at the Harrogate show. So being very brave I challenged myself to use my new blue shades of Fresco paint and the puff paint. I gave the mdf heart a coat of gesso and applied the puff paint and heated it. It did as it said and puffed up!! I gave it a coat of beach hut and wasn't that impressed, so I touched it up with some south pacific, hmm...still not that impressed and the puff paint appeared to get lost. I then lost it and added some green (hey pesto), it still didn't enhance the puff paint..hmmmm... So then I took some bubble wrap and used it with the pumpkin soup. Took a white posca pen and outlined the shapes. Still not that impressed and then I remembered the treasure gold (olive bronze) I also picked up at the Harrogate show. So I went for it and used some over the puff paint and WOW what a difference it made, it's fantastic stuff. Well you can see it for yourself on the photo.

Neato, I like the circled bubble wrap effect and the puff paint looks quite rustic. x
You've reminded me, I have white and black puff paints...somewhere. Love the colours on your heart - really striking.
Lovely autumn heart! Great mushrooms and lovely puff paint!! Hugs,

I really like that Sam, especially the puff paint texture.

Great job! I like the texture of the puff paint and using the bubble wrap gave a nice effect.
Great heart sam loving the puff paint.
SO glad you persevered with this and kept adding those layers. It is truly superb Sam. You really are on fire lately - inspired by Harrogate no doubt. Looking forward to the next project already. Hugs, Buttons x
Looks like youve hit on to a great way of creating backgrounds - fab creation Sam.

Scrumptious mushroom heart... sounds as though you're maybe at Doncaster today (Sun), in which case I hope you're having a blast... and I hear from Neet that it's your birthday, so I hope it's doubly great!

Wow, love this heart and the layers of colour work brilliantly. Really interested in this Treasure Gold - think I'll have to investigate that one! Great piece Sam.
