Join Emma-Jo in the craft room today as she transforms a simple MDF heart into a stunning decorative piece using a mix of Dinkles Inks, Mica Minerals, and Lavinia Acrylic Sprays.
She begins by priming the heart with two coats of white Gesso, creating the perfect surface for adding colour. While that’s drying, she prepares a vibrant palette of Dinkles powdered inks, each diluted with water in Needle Tip Applicator Bottles — ideal for precise, pointillist-style application.
Drawing inspiration from the Neo-Impressionist movement, Emma-Jo applies tiny bursts of colour, some enriched with a touch of Mica Minerals for subtle shimmer. A few light spritzes of Acrylic Spray add extra depth and richness to the background.
These versatile MDF hearts are perfect for decorating on both sides and make beautiful, one-of-a-kind hanging gifts — full of colour, texture, and sparkle.
