Paint Storage Container with Testors Paints

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a project I recently  created  for Scrap n' Art Magazine using products from Testors.

Testors has made paints for hobbies since 1929.  I can remember using these little pots of paints with my brothers when working on their models.  I was, therefore, thrilled to see the variety of products now available to the crafting world.

I had a paper mache box and knew it would be perfect to hold my Testors supplies.  Using Metallic Silver acrylic paint, I painted the box.  Once dry, I placed a stencil on top and painted Plum acrylic paint through the stencil.  The paint is quick to dry so I had relatively little down time.  Another layer of Plum acrylic paint was painted along the top edges.

 

I also painted some lace with the same Plum acrylic paint then used Fabri-Tac from Beacon Adhesives to adhere the lace around the top edge.

 

 

My Testor's paints are now all together in one location and available for use any time I need them.

 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Supplies:

Design Master - Tint It, Ultra Matte

Leisure Arts Coloring Book - Arts of Coloring Flowers

Sizzix Stamps

Testors Acrylic Wash Paint

Thermoweb - Deco Foil, Adhesives

 

 

 

 

This 6" x 6" canvas started out white. Using some amazing colors of Tint It from Design Master, I was able to transform this canvas.  Tint It dries almost immediately and I was able to achieve some layered effects by adding Ultra Matt as the top layer. 

 

 

 

 

I colored a page from a Leisure Arts Coloring Book - the Art of Coloring Flowers.  This coloring book is packed with flowers of all styles and sizes.  Once colored, I fussy cut a corner selection of flowers, then layered a number of them together.  Using Testors paint with an Art Screen from Clearsnap, I added the swirls in the blank space. 

 

 

I added foils to all the leaves using Therm-o-web green foil.  Then, for dimension, I used Therm-o-web foam squares to adhere the flowers to the canvas.

 The stamped phrase is from Sizzix.

 

What do you think?

 

Thanks for stopping by today.
