Prima Wood Base Collage: Mixed Medium Home Decor

Happy Thursday everyone!! It’s Shari here with a Home Decor piece using some great Prima products. I started off with a Carte Blanch Home Decor wood base… what a nice sturdy surface to use for a project like this!!

I added some crackle paste and paint to get it started and added this large 2″ paint brush for my focal point and let it hang off the bottom of the base.

Once everything was dry, I went about adding my flowers and tag.

I die cut “Create” four times from Slate card stock and glued them together to make a thick almost chipboard like piece.

From there I added small embellishments along with my mix of flowers.

And finished my project off with some Glass Glitter and Silver Micro Beads.
