I Believe In Change by Lynne Moncrieff

This
week I am sharing one of the Upright samples made for HOCHANDA.
I have
a weakness for That’s Crafty! Uprights so I was thrilled to know I would be
working on this substrate for the HOCHANDA sample.
The
quote is from one of the new Inspirational Quote stamp sets which inspired me
to incorporate the Relic and Artifact eye into this project.
Supplies
Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics – Toffee, Caramel
Old
Credit Card
Extras
– Rusty tin wire, found papers, calico scraps
Instructions
On this
project, the time is spent on building colour, creating texture and
staining. Infusions are amazing little
bottles of colour and they can also heighten that textural appearance.
After
applying Gesso, apply Grunge Paste in a random layer. Pull the texture edge of
stencil through paste. Next, apply Grunge Paste to Dinky Stencil TC012. Once
dry, apply Infusions, misting with water and allowing the stain to drip and
pool around stencilled areas. Once dry, highlight the relief design by applying
Frescos and Martha Stewart Acrylic paint with fingertips.
Stamp
EAA stars to upper corner. Stain calico, book text and eye with Infusions.
Stamp quote and EAA sentiment onto the stained calico.
Cut into word tiles -
they can be adhered to scrap cardstock for stability. Tear and crumple the
stained book text.
Adhere all to Upright and adhere pieces of the crumpled
paper to the base.
Finally,
create several rusty tin wire embellishments by coiling the wire.
Until
next week,
Wishes
Lynne
