Finnabair inspired canvas reworked

 Hi everyone hope you are all okay and having a crafty time

preparing for Christmas.

.

This was the original which had a lot of layers and the 

base had a translucent.

So i gessoed it all with white gesso and allowed to dry.

 Next came spraying with Lyndy's stamp gang moonshine sprays.

 Followed by a bit of dry brushing with a mix of Deco arts Prussian

 blue hue mixed with media tinting base.

 Layers of white gesso were dry brushed to highlight the swirls on the

canvas base. 

 The photo below shows how it lifts the swirls off the canvas.

 The following photo's show the dry brushing, over the main focal point

of the canvas.

Another photo. 

 I really enjoyed altering this. Work had asked me to do a piece for

our office wall so it will now be hanging up on our art wall. 

I hope you have all enjoyed my piece today please feel free

to let me know what you think.

Cheers Dee. x

Mechanical World Custer over at SASPC

Hi everyone and its time for our next round of inspiration for 

the month over at SASPC blog.

I used the 'Mechanical World Custer" From Boozy bear for 

my plaque.

To begin with I used a circular chip board base which I painted

 with deco art media fluid acrylic cobalt turquoise hue.

Next I used deco art crackle glaze which i applied over the blue 

painted chipboard circle & put aside to do its magic.

Once dry black antiquing cream was used to

highlight the cracks.

The middle harlequin and globe were covered in a layer 

of texture sand paste and painted with panes grey when dry.

Quinacridone gold was then applied over the top.

The top cogs wereI usedraw umber followed by crackle paste 

gold embossing and dirty washes followed by dry brushing

with gesso completed the top part.

I sprayed heavy water coloured card with Lindy's stamp gang moon shadow 

sprays.

Andy skinners industrial stamp was stamped onto the card along with 

Carabelle Studio Stamp - Stitched Mixed Media Background.

A bit more embossing stamping the vintage journey stamp onto a wooden stirrer.

I hope you have all enjoyed this post please feel free to let me know 

what you think.

SASPC Clock Man by Dee

Hi everyone Dee here a bit late with my post soz!

Its time again for team B to produce their projects for this

months challenge.

I used lots of Tim's stamps and stencils this time as I 

hadn't managed to play with them.

As alway I used the lovely Deco art paint in shades of grey and 

burnt umber.

Black modelling paste through a Tando stencil over the numbers

Stencil from Tim.

This clock was done on a Tando circle covered in deco art's crackle

glaze once dry antiquing cream finished it of.

the tando flourish stencil.

clock man.

Stampendous October Catty Ornate Vintage Key

Hi everyone Dee here with one of my Stampendous October Catty pieces

I used the lovely CRS5093 Cling Lilac  stamp set.

Along with that I also used the lovely embossing enamels 

which I then  tripple embossed the butterfly's

from the Lilac stamp set.

Lots of lovely Deco Art products were used to create 

the worn appearance of this piece.

Firstly I painted it with Paynes grey pior to dabbing on

 weather wood randomly. Once dry I painted with the

crackle paint.

Washes of prussian blue hue were then applied in very watery 

form as this is a very powerful colour. 

I used chunky embossing powder to age the key in certain

area's along with beads and antiquing cream.

Why not pop over to the Stampendous site

and see some of the teams peeks

at the new catelogue.

Products used

1. Stampendous stamps:-  CRS5093 Cling Lilac  stamp set.

SASPC Challenge for September

Its time for my SASPC challenge post. I used a Tando media 

board for my base which I gave a base coat of 

Americana chalk finish paint custom mixed.

I stamped a Carabelle-studio art stamp

onto the board in black archival ink.

I applied Deco Art media crackle paste around the edges 

and used Prussian blue to colour over once dry.

A swipe of Pewter treasure gold to the dry 

crackle paste.

Boozy bear chipboard pieces were painted with silver

media line paint.

I hope you like the project don't forget if you join in you

SASPC Summer Challenge

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a lovely relaxing summer.
  I am trying to remember how I created this piece
as I made it a while back for Ministry Of
Mixology.

I used a Tando set Andy Skinner Industrial Elements
I started with giving the key hole plate a
base coat with Deco Arts Paynes grey

I followed this with crackle paint I assembled the
bolts and treated them with a coat of paint.

Once crackled I used patina antiquing cream
to highlight area's.

I tripple embossed andy's clock from his steampunk
stamp set.

I can't remember what stamp I used for the centre piece
I think its a Kazelkraft stamp.

An open clock was treated the same as the key plate
and attached to the back.  A stamped clock face
 that had glossy accents applied was cut in two some
& small watch part's were dropped into
 the wet accents.


Well that's all for today folks please feel free to let me know what you think and don't forget to pop over and see what the rest of the team have made. Why not join in with us and play for a chance
to win goodies from both Deco Art and Boozy Bear.
