Last
week, That’s Crafty! appeared on HOCHANDA with a bundle of new releases,
including greyboard Bits ‘n’ Pieces and more of my Lynne’s Affirmations stamp
sets. I could not be more thrilled with the stamp sets, Laura has once again
waved her magic wand (and worked hard!) to bring together the Affirmations in a
variety of font styles and the inclusion of illustrations which perfectly
co-ordinate with the Affirmations yet at the same time, they are beautiful in
their own right, without the pairing of an Affirmation.
This is
one of the shrines I made as a HOCHANDA sample.
Supplies
Plaid Rust Finish Kit (use dark bottle only)
Old Paintbrush
Extras:
previously stained book text – with Infusions, previously rusted vintage
crochet, collage image, old book page, rusted tin wire
Instructions
Assemble
art shrine. I want to add that I am a Gel Medium devotee, rarely looking
elsewhere for other adhesives but have to say, That’s Crafty’s Multi-Purpose
Adhesive is my “go to” choice when assembling their shrines. The nozzle makes
for ease in assembling and you are guaranteed a strong hold.
Paint
with Gesso before applying Rust Finish, the dark bottle only, to shrine, wings
with circle and tag. Next, place small amount of Copper acrylic onto craft
sheet. Press shrine, greyboard and tag
into the copper paint, then lay aside to dry.
Once
dry, layer image behind circle element. Layer wings to top of shrine with piece
of previously rusted crochet lace and stained book text, also attaching some
loose fibres.
Stamp
Affirmation onto book text, the plain margin, cutting into word tiles before
layering to prepared MDF tag with pieces of rusted paper and found paper. Attach
rusty tin wire to tag, the ends of the wire are hidden behind the frame of the
shrine.
Finally,
embellish the shrine with pieces of old lace.
Until
next time,
Wishes
Lynne
