I’m
having a bit of a moment combining That’s Crafty! substrates with Relics and
Artifacts. They seem to work together so
beautifully.
This
week, for the first time, I worked with the Wings Dinky Stencil..it’s so
beautiful! I used it with vintage wallpaper, paints and Memory Hardware Powders
to create wings for the Relic and Artifact.
I’ve
just this moment realised, this is another week where no stamping
appears…what’s happening to me?!!
Supplies
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencil – Wings TC074, Star Shower TC037
Clear Embossing Texture Paste (I worked with Ranger Wendy Vecchi)
Fresco Finish – Gold, Chocolate Pudding, Slate,
Claret
Pen/Pencil
Extras:-
vintage wallpaper, fibres, ephemera
Instructions
When I
made paperclay elements for a previous project, I made extra as a
timesaver. I’m always doing this. If you are making the paperclay elements,
begin with this step to allow for drying time. Use the paperclay with the Baroque mould, remove from the mould and
leave to dry on an absorbent surface.
Apply
Gesso to arch and base. To the arch,
apply clear texture paste to Star Shower stencil. When dry, apply paints and Memory Powders to
the upright and paperclay elements. Apply Memory Powders to the R&A.
With
pen or pencil, trace the wing stencil onto vintage wallpaper. I had a lovely piece from my friend Dorthe,
beautiful texture. After fussy cutting
the wings, apply paints and Memory Powders, highlighting the texture on the
paper.
Assemble
the upright by adhering the paperclay elements. It’s worth noting that paperclay can be cut once dry which is useful for
cutting off areas from large pieces. The
Baroque moulds are such great designs for working in this way.
Layer
the R&A to the wings, embellishing with a scrap of stained vintage lace
crochet. Scrunch paper ephemera and
adhere below the angel adding stained fibres (the stained lace, fibres and
paper ephemera were literally lying around and I knew they had to have a home
on this Upright!)
Apply a
scattering of gilding flakes.
Until
next time,
Wishes
