This is a plant pot i decorated for my mums mothers day present last year. Its a plain old cheap as chips terracotta pot that i painted white with matt emulsion paint. I then added a crackle glaze i used a Tim holtz one as i am not very good at doing it the Sheena way lol. I decided to use the crafters companion/ Sheena Douglass paint fusion rose stamp to match the pink miniature rose that i had bought to go inside it. It was stamped with a stazon grey ink second generation so it wasn't too dark. If asked can you paint after i have stopped laughing I say err no which i really cant but with the stamps its like paint by numbers! Bit of practise and someone to explain it you soon get the hang of it this was my first attempt at paint fusion. Its all about loading the brush in the correct way. Then i used the swirls from the set of stamps with perfect medium ink and gold embossing powders and melted them with a heat tool. My mum loved it she was so proud of what i had done she was in ill health at the time and couldn't get outside so i brought a bit of the outdoors indoors for her. Sadly my mum past away last year but its still on the sideboard so my dad can enjoy it.
