I have at last finished my christmas cards and was feeling a bit bored so been having a bit of a play.
I was very disappointed to find that my "Americana Decor chalky paint" was a bit solid and dried up so ...
I had a go at restoring it and here is how it goes ... sorry cant do a video but have photos to explain the procedure
 |
2 pots of solid chalk paint 😞 |
 |
White gesso and Cheapie filler from pound shop |
 |
| the finished article just a small tester pot and a trial with a stencil 😀 |
wow pretty chuffed with the end product as I thought I may have to throw the paint away ... and its not not cheap either x
Don't you love it when you can restore something especially when they are not cheap=great save,I use that filler as texture paste too.I have never been so organised either all my cards done and posted off last week and just a couple of pressies to buy as Grandaughter just changed her request as in ---I would really love one of these so if I dont get one for Christmas hope I get enough money to buy it myself very subtle Holly lol
