Spread Your Golden Wings by Lynne Moncrieff
00:00
A project with a Christmas tinge to it although the
message is one that can be carried throughout the year.
The stamped angel, from Oxford Impressions (an all
time favourite stamp) has been given a golden wing courtesy of a Relics and
Artifact.
Supplies
Prima Finnabair Stamp Sets – Old Town, Don’t Forget To Fly
Martha Stewart Metallic Acrylics – Rose Gold, Copper
Distress Stain Spray – Antiqued Bronze, Tarnished
Bronze
Cardstock Scraps
Staz-on Timber Brown
UHU Glue Stick
Extras:- Small wood frame, rusty tin wire, scrap of
gold mop up paper
Instructions
After applying Gesso to substrate, apply clear texture
paste to stencil, consider composition before steaming ahead with the
stenciling. Once dry, paint substrate
with metallic acrylics and Distress Stain Sprays.
Apply metallics to scrap cardstock and book text. Stamp Finnabair circles, stained glass circle
(stamp twice, fussy cutting a central circle and layering for dimension),
Oxford Impressions angel and sentiment. Fussy cut circles, adhering Finnabair circles to panel. Layer the stained glass circle behind the
angel. Tuck a small piece of mop up paper behind angel image.
Paint a small
wooden frame before layering over one of the words.
Paint a R&A wing with Distress Stain Sprays. Adhere to panel as though it is the angel’s
wing.
If choosing to hang, create holes in substrate,
threading through rusty tin wire to form a hanger. Pliers or jewelry tools can aid you to coil
ends of wire.
It can be a difficult time of the year for so
many. Whether you are seeking joyful
times during the festivities or a time to reflect on that which has passed, I
wish you comfort, joy and peace.

What a wonderful piece! So beautiful. Each stenciled, stamped and artifact placed exactly where it needed to go. You are amazing Lynne! The stenciled stars really laid the background theme for this piece. The addition of the R&A wings just makes this piece talk to us. I like the mop up paper as a frame for this Angel. All I can say is "HEAVENLY!" Dare to spread your wings in 2017, Lynne! Happy creating, inkybru. Xxx
