Hello everyone! I have a mixed media project to
share with you today, using DecoArt Media Crackle Paste and Acrylic Misters,
with a That's Crafty! Dinky Stencil and PaperArtsy Everything Art stamps.
Here's what I used...
Palette Knife, Soft Black Pencil, Water Spray Bottle, Heat Gun, Craft Mat
Old Book Pages
Here's what I did...
1. I began by using the Prima silicone brush and
matte medium to adhere torn book pages to the MDF board. I added a thicker
layer of matte medium to seal them, and used the texture end of one of
Finnabair's brushes to add some texture in the matte medium before drying with
a heat gun.
2. Next, I used a palette knife to apply DecoArt
Crackle Paste through the Pebbles Background Dinky Stencil in a few random
places, then left this to dry naturally for a few hours.
3. Once the crackle paste was dry, I unscrewed the
lids of the Yellow Green and Turquoise Shimmer misters, used the straw to apply
the liquid acrylic to the top of the board, spritzed with water, and allowed it
to drip down.
4. Using black Archival ink, I stamped the lace at
the top left and the bottom right of the board, and on some of the edges. I
didn't want a perfect image, I just wanted to add a bit of border and textural
interest.
5. I painted a manila tag with a light layer of
white gesso, then stamped the main image near the top in black. I stamped the
lace around the image, and over the rest of the tag, not re-inking to get a
softer stamping on the lower part of the tag. I tore the lower part off, and
adhered the top main image to the left side of the board.
6. I inked up the main image stamp again, and
placed the remnant of my tag over the words part a couple of times to get
another set of words, and the woman's lips. I cut these out and glued them to
the board. I used a soft black pencil to add some shade around the images and
words.
7. I sprayed a tiny amount of Turquoise Shimmer and
Magenta Mister on my craft mat, added a little water, then painted the lips and
some of the words. I flicked some of the Magenta over the board by tapping the
mister straw, and inked the edges with black archival ink to finish.
I hope I've inspired you today!
Until next week,
