Molossi Mood Board Challenge

Howdy!! I recently hosted a crafty swap and today I want to share what I made for my swap partner. I actually got the idea for this from another swap I'm participating in, which I am working on right now... I'm typing in between drying layers, lol. I also took inspiration from the Molossi Mood Board challenge. All of the supplies will be listed at the end of the post. 

I was lucky enough to find some large Papier Mâché letters in my local art store - these are approx 8" in height. I prepared the surface with a layer of gesso and then added loads of texture with modelling paste and stencils, along with chipboard pieces.

I did all of the background colours before adding flowers, and gesso'd chipboard butterflies/birds/leaves. I used various Silks to add colour to the raised areas. 

I also applied Silks to the edges of the large Prima flowers. Finally I adhered a Prima Typo Bulb over the birdcage (Tip: use a hot glue gun for this step, wet glue takes aaaaaages to dry. Ask me how I know :/ )
