Anything Goes over at SASPC May challenge

I have a media board for you today as my inspiration

for this months challenge.

I started with home made tissue paper which I made by

stamping directly onto plain tissue paper with black

Stazon ink with various stamps.

next I glued this onto the media board with Deco Art Matt Medium

which was followed with DA modelling paste put through

a distressed harlequin stencil (Tando mini's)

 I used a watery wash of DA Gesso once dry follow 

with a second coat.

 

Next came water colour in greens and greys apply them 

very watery and dry between coats. Once happy

I attached my triple embossed heart and crackle 

paste.

Lastly a trickle of Deco Art crackle glaze with a little green

mixed in was applied to the top of the media board.

At the bottom I typed the word ART & mat it 

onto black card.

I hope that I have inspired you today and that you will

come and play along with us today.

January Catty Pink your life Whisper friends

Hi Everyone I have a project for you that I did for the 

 Stampendous's  January Catalog.

I Started with cutting the plaque from the foam board what 

I would say is I would use Tando substrate next time as it

doesn't buckle although this effect did add to the piece in 

the end. Crackle paste was used around the edges with

a palette knife.

I then painted the board with gesso followed by the crackle paint.

this was followed by the Prussian blue hue, along with titan buff,

&  phathio turquoise. This was randomly applied along with the 

wax I kept knocking it back until I was happy with the result.

A final wash of quinacridone gold pains grey and ultra matt 

medium (Andy Skinners dirty wash) was put over the top to 

age it all. Translucent paste was put through the Picasso

tool and sprinkled with chunky gold embossing

powder, and heat set.

The pink your life people, houses and mushrooms were 

stamped onto black card then clear embossed and 

coloured in using the prisma pencils.

These were all attached to the plaque so that they stand 

slightly proud not flat against it.
