That's Crafty!: DecoArt Media Crackle Paste

Hello Crafters! I have been using PaperArtsy's lovely Infusions this week to make a pretty background for a card.

Here's what I used...

PaperArtsy Infusions - Are You Cerise, Orange County

Carabelle Studio Stamp Set - Follow Your Heart by Birgit Koopsen

Carabelle Studio Stencil - Coup De Coeur

Carabelle Studio Die Set - My Heart by Birgit Koopsen

DecoArt Media Crackle Paste

DecoArt Media Matte Medium

Ranger Archival Ink Pad - Jet Black

White Card, Black Card

Water Spray Bottle

Palette Knife

Gelli Plate Print or Patterned Paper

Square White Card Blank

Here's what I did...

1. I made my background by simply sprinkling the Infusions on some white card, then spritzing with water.

2. When my background was dry, I used black Archival ink to stamp the heart and phrase.

3. I die cut a heart from a co-ordinating Gelli Plate print, and stamped the heart onto it. Then I adhered it over the stamped heart on the background, using matte medium.

4. Around the stamped and die cut heart, I used a palette knife to apply crackle paste through some hearts from the stencil.

5. Once the crackle hearts were dry, I matted my design onto black card, then adhered it to a square white card blank.

Have a creative day!

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...

That's Crafty! Surfaces - MDF - 6x6 inch

That's Crafty! Dinky Stencil - Pebbles Background

DecoArt Media Gesso - White

DecoArt Media Matte Medium

DecoArt Media Crackle Paste

DecoArt Media Mister - Turquoise Shimmer, Yellow Green, Magenta

PaperArtsy Stamp Set - Eclectica - Everything Art - EEA01

Ranger Inkssentials Surfaces - Manila Craft Tag - Size 8

Ranger Archival Ink Pad - Jet Black

Prima Finnabair Art Basics Mixed Media Silicone Brush - 1"

Prima Finnabair Art Basics Double-Ended Brush Sets1 and 2

Ranger Inkssentials Glossy Accents

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,
