Pretty Owl Necklace created for Chocolate Baroque

Good morning. This was one of my show samples using the Bold Blooms stamp set from Chocolate Baroque. I decorated an MDF owl and added it to some recycled chain and bead strings to make a pretty necklace. I made a little gift tag to match.

Materials:

• Bold Blooms stamp set
• Gesso (white) and acrylic paint (turquoise)
• Inkpads: Versamark, Stazon (Jet Black)
• Coloured pens (Pentel – pink and turquoise)
• Glitter Glue (clear)
• Ultra thick embossing powder (UTEE - Clear and Clear with mica)
• Recycled chain and bead strings, clasp findings and jump rings
• MDF owl and mini tag

How it was made:

1. The MDF owl was coated with gesso (primer) then acrylic paint. The image was stamped with StazOn and coloured with pens. A little glitter glue was added for sparkle.
2. When fully dry the piece was coated with Versamark and coated with pearlescent clear UTEE. Two more layers of clear UTEE were added to give a sealed shiny finish.
3. The pendant was attached to the recycled bead and chain to make a necklace, A little gift tag was stamped and coloured to match.
