To Dare by Lynne Moncrieff

I have
worked on quite a few of the Arch Dinky Uprights so I was so happy to receive a
large Arch Upright as a sample to create for recent HOCHANDA shows.
I was
inspired by the That’s Crafty! stamp to incorporate a Relics & Artifacts
Milagros.
To
create the texture, I used Dinky Stencils on the arch, creating an aged,
masonry effect.
Supplies
That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Church Window TC065, Brick
Background TC026
Relics & Artifacts - Milagros, Rising Spirit I
Frescos Finish Chalk Acrylics - Caramel, Toffee
Extras:- Dresden Trim, Sari Ribbon, Rusty Tin Wire
Instructions
Apply
Gesso and Fresco to Upright.
Apply
Grunge Paste to Church Window and Brick – alternate the stencil designs,
applying Grunge Paste only to upper section of Church Window stencil.
Once
dry, with fingers, apply Frescos and Martha Stewart Acrylic paint, highlighting
texture.
Apply
Frescos and Iron Paste to Dresden Trim, edging the base with the Trim.
Apply
Frescos and Infusions to R&As. Stain sari ribbon scraps with Infusions.
Stamp the sari ribbon with the Inspirational Quote before tearing into strips. Wrap
rusty tin wire around strands of sari ribbon. Adhere the R&A to the arch,
attaching the wire wrapped sari ribbon beneath the R&A.
Stamp
quote onto calico stained with Infusions. Cut into word tiles. Adhere to
Upright.
Adhere
R&A feet to base. They had some Grunge Paste swiped onto them before
painting and staining. Layer the feet onto shreds of calico and sari ribbon
which had been stained with Infusions. To enhance texture on the base, adhere a piece
of mop up paper.
The
Upright is now complete.
Until
next time,
Wishes
Lynne
