Exploding Tardis Diamond Painting! + GIVEAWAY! | CraftyPaws

Mr. CraftyPaws and I are huge Doctor Who fans so when I saw THIS fireworks diamond painting at Newfrog.com, I was so excited about using it as a background for an exploding Tardis art piece (from The Pandorica Opens and The Big Bang story arc).

I was able to do this full drill painting in about 3 days (working on and off, of course). I didn’t approach it with any particular method. I just worked through each color more or less throughout the entire painting. Over long stretches of time, I would get bleary eyed and miss sections of a particular color and have to go back, but that was fine. I used the prep trays that came with all 3 diamond paintings that I received to review from Newfrog.com, and was able to keep all the colors organized as I worked through the project.

The following are a series of pictures of the project as I progressed:

Next I stamped the Tardis image from the Kindred Stamps “Time Traveler” stamp set twice and used the following Copic colors to bring them to life: Y000, Y00, B41, B95, B66 and B69. Then I fussy cut out both images, cut off the top light of the telephone box/time travel machine from one and then haphazardly cut up the images so that it would look like the 4 sided Tardis was breaking apart.

I layered in the cut up pieces of the Tardis using foam dots and Tombow adhesive tabs to give the pieces varying depth from the diamond painting background — less depth toward the center and more depth as the pieces emanated out to give the illusion as if it was exploding out from the center. Lastly, I bought an IKEA frame and had a custom mat cut at Hobby Lobby to fit the exact dimensions of the diamond painting. The final framed piece is the top picture of this blog post.
