Other Tools needed

Stick on Pearl seed painted with Prussian blue

 

 

 

Step 1

 

Cut your coconut card to size 4.25 inches by 6 inches then give it a base coat of Payne’s Grey and Raw Umber 50/50. Once dry use Andy skinners resist paste where you wish the base to show through. Follow this with vanilla matt chalk paint and heat set, then take a soft cloth and rub back over the resist areas to remove the paint in the resist areas.

 

 

Step 2

 

Ink up the le mode stamp with Black archival Ink taking care to miss the edges you could mask them out if you wish, I didn’t as I don’t mind the odd hint of the boarder showing through. Once dry give a watery wash of Shallow sea matt paint and heat set reapply till happy making sure it is very watery. At this stage I added some stitching on the righthand side.

 

 

 

Step 3 

 

Once you have stamped the main image stamp out again along with the top part of the L’alterations stamp on Primrose card then fussy cut the images out. Run a distress tool around the edges to create an uneven edge.  Use your smoothie to apply a mix of Yellow iron oxide and raw umber together 70 yellow / 30 umber and apply to the edges of the base card and your cut out images follow with Prussian blue. Tip test out how to on scrap card so you don’t overload it.

 

 

 

Step 4

 

I found 3 black buttons in my stash and thought I would give them a rusty finish. I applied Cosmic shimmers special effects rust to them. This product us amazing as it has quite a textured finish to it, I dried each colour before applying the next colour and I used a stipple brush to apply.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

 

Apply the double sided card to your project and mat to the kraft card, using a distress tool and repeat the process that you used on the main project. Apply a strip of double sided card to the left hand side of your main image and stick down the lace. Follow this by attaching your buttons and the tittle piece from the L’alterations stamp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6

 

Finally attach your corsets with the double sided pads so they sit proud of the base image and your 3 painted seed pearls.

Hi everyone Dee here with 3 tags using Andy's transfers Alchemy Plus set these are fabulous sets and can be used over different backgrounds. For these three I used small atc boards which I backed onto tags which I had used creative expressions colour clouds along with Andy creative expressions paints. Andy's Pebble Beach stamp was also used on all the tag backgrounds.

Prey over on Andy Skinners Blog

 Hi everyone, here is a project I did using Andy's pray stamp and his Redemption stencil. I cut out a large arch out of grey board and put texture paste through the redemption. I used a broken compass that i had made form a mould.

Tando grey board was used to do the frames and the centre piece was a Tando creative clock hand that I had coated with grit paste. I made the background papers using a gel plate and creative expressions pigment paints

The wings were made using a mould along with the bones at the bottom of the piece. I painting the wings with raw umber and gold paint.

 

Rangers crackle accents were used at the base of the windows. I used gems to decorate the clock hand and acrylic washes on the clock hand .

The top of the arch was again painted with acrylic paint and gilding paste was used to highlight the words.

I hope you all enjoyed my post and thank you for taking the time to pop by.

Cheers Dee x
