 If you love cats and fairies then you’ll enjoy creating my Flights
of Fancy kitties. You could hang them from your ceiling on clear
nylon or create a mobile…the possibilities are endless!
1. To create this hanging ornament first drill a hole horizontally
through the top portion of the domino. Do this by first drilling
from one side to the center and then finish the hole by drilling
from the other side. One of the holes could chip if you simply drill
all the way through from one side only.
2. Ink up the Luna kitty stamp with coal black Ancient Page dye ink
by ClearSnap and stamp the image onto a new shiny white domino and
heat set with an embossing heat gun.
3. Colour the image with fine and ultra fine point Sharpie markers
from the pastel range of colours. Use dark blue and purple from the
original range and navy to shade the wings and the background.
4. Highlight areas of the design with purple and blue RoseArt
metallic permanent markers.
5. Edge and colour the sides of the domino with a broad point
metallic silver DecoColor paint pen.
6. To protect the design apply a coat of Judikins Diamond Glaze for
a glass-like finish to the surface of the domino. Do this by
dripping a few generous drops of the glaze to the surface of the
domino and quickly spreading it around with your finger. For a
thicker coat you can spread the glaze around directly from the
bottle’s detail applicator nozzle.
7. For more sparkle and to seal the sides of the domino apply a coat
of Delta CeramCoat Sparkle Glaze with a paintbrush. The glaze dries
to a clear iridescent sparkle.
8. Embellish the stamped star between the wings with a Stampendous
silver star sticker.
9. Cut 3 lengths of a fine silver wire.
10. Wire wrap 3 glass stars and twist each end around the main
portion. Apply a dab of Judikins Diamond Glaze to the wrapped wire
ends to prevent them from unraveling.
11. Adhere the wires to the back of the domino with E-6000 glue. I
covered the wires with my signature label to hide them. You could
also try hiding the wires by covering the back of the domino with
colour coordinating papers, suede paper, felt or fabric.
12. Finish off the hanging ornament by threading a length of clear
nylon (fishing line) through the holes and secure with a knot. Dab
some glue onto the knot and push the knot back inside the hole to
hide and secure it in place. |
