An Altered Box For The SASPC Challenge

Hi everyone Dee here with my latest post for the SASPC monthly 

challenge. I have an altered wooden box from left over

Christmas Confectionary.

I started by gessoing the whole box followed by stencilling the 

words & pattern to the corner of the lid with with modelling

 medium next a coat of black acrylic paint.

Once dry I applied weather wood in area's this is done to increase 

the size of the crackle.

Next a coat of crackle paint all over the cover and put

aside to dry

Meanwhile all the Boozybear pieces I coated in powdered rust.

apart from the clock which I used Deco Art texture 

sand paste on.

I left the numbers untextured and coated it all in a coat of Paynes Grey

and Raw Umber Deco art media acrylics,

Once the crackle paint on the box had dried and crackled I applied

very watery washes of Prussian Blue Hue till I was happy 

with the colour.

A further wash of Andy Skinner's dirty wash was applied over the top.

I set the rusty clock on a background of a circle and painted it with

Tourquoise and covering in Deco art Liquid glass.

Inside the box I used about 5 different techniques one would

develop into the next then the next till I was happy 

with the result.

You can just make out the stamps that are used on the base of the

box prior to being painted with crackle paint.

Prussian blue hue was spritzed and run down the sides.

It was all finished off with treasure gold. I hope you have 

all been inspired to join us this month

the challenge is anything goes.

That's it for this month from Sandee & Amelie's
steam punk Challenges.

Triple Embossing with Dee

Triple Embossing with Dee

CAUTION THE MOLTON EMBOSSING POWDERS MAY BURN YOU.

1. Swipe your substrate/card with embossing ink then pour your chosen powders over the area.

2. Tip the remaining embossing powder back into its pot & heat set your embossing powder with your hot air gun until melted.

3. Follow the above steps with chunky clear or ultra thick embossing powder.

4. Follow the above steps again with your base colour this will be your final layer of embossing powder.

5. Ideally you will have picked out your stamp that you want to emboss with and will have inked it up with a pigment ink pad I tend to use versa fine.

6. For this step you need to heat the embossing powder until it is molten you will be able to see this and working quickly press your inked stamp into the molten embossing powder & allow to cool prior to peeling your stamp off.

7. If working on a substrate it might be best to paint it or colour it with your chosen medium.

As promised Cheers Dee x

AS Distress challenge

Hi everyone Dee here with my latest post over at the Artistic

Stamper for this months Challenge Distress.

So with this in mind I used some of The Artistic stampers

 new stamps and a old background Stamp.

I seem to be having a problem with centralising my 

words. I used the distress splatter tool.

It all looked to pale for me so I sprayed with vintage photo

distress stain spray.

A little triple embossing and a sprinkle of white embossing 

powder.

Distress marker in spiced Margold was

used to colour in the flowers.

That's it folks.

cheers Dee

Anything goes over at SASPC

 Hi everyone I hope you are all well and joining in with us
over at SASPC

this month for a chance to win some seriously

awesome mixed media supplies.

 I have a journal page/spread (new to me but seem to

be doing a lot of them) to inspire you this month.

This layout was inspired by France pappilion and an article she did 

in craft stamper magazine.

So I started with a layer of Deco Art gesso, a layer of gel medium, another 

layer Of gesso on card. 

Next I took my heat gun and heated the mediums till they bubbled 

up and created a lovely texture.

 I used black modelling paste put through a 

distressed harlequin stencil.

The above pic shows the tag with my acknowledgement to France Pappillion

 for the inspiration I got from her art. 

I sprayed the surface with distress stain sprays till I was happy with 

the results

While the black modelling paste was still wet I used powdered rust

A stampers anonymous classic script stamp inked with black

archival ink and stamped randomly over the two pages.

Vintage photo distress stain was used to colour a piece of 

cheese cloth. 

Treasure gold in spanish topaz was used to highlight

the bubbles created by the heat gun

Deco arts black modelling paste was used through a CWS 

Some ideology tissue tape was used under the dyed cheese cloth.

a few die cut cogs were used to finish off.

Thank you for popping by today why not

 come and play in a world of 

steampunk.

A new challenge over at SASPC

Dee

This was inspired by Butterfly and a piece that she did gave me 

the inspiration for this piece. It was created with Deco Art

media products and various stamps.

I started by making my own background paper with stamps

 and tissue paper.

Next I glued this onto a Tando creative media board.

I then used Deco Art media line crackle glaze onto the tissue paper.

                   Once dry I used Deco Art Antiquing cream In Patina, Red english oxide
                                                                            & Black.

Black modelling paste was put through a stencil and texture sand paste was 

used on the Tando compass.

Okay thats it for today folks please feel free to leave a comment

or ask a question or two.
