Junes post over at SASPC

Hi everyone I have a post for you today which was 

inspired by the work of Seth Apter.

I used a mix of chalky finish paints from Deco art and 

different pastes stencils etc.

Old pieces of art work that was lying on my desk became

part of the layout.

I used a couple of his stamps which i love but haven't 

had time to play with properly.

Carabelle Studio XL Mask - Chiffres & deco art's black 

modelling paste .

I made a little pocket to pop a couple of tags in that are 

very grungy and can be pulled out to jot notes on.

Some old texture fades pieces that were lying on my desk.

Again one of my favourite stamps a clock face.

I really enjoyed making this piece and building up the 

layers.

A close up.

That's it for today thank you for poping by and 

don't forget to join in with us and have 

a chance to win amazing goodies.

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.

Products used 

1. Stampendous products used :- Pink Your life stamps used were Mushroom rubber stamp,Whisper friendship rubber stamp, Whisper houses clear stamp. Picasso shield/stencil tool Dream weaver translucent paste, & crackle paste, dream weaver palette knife, Gold chunky & clear embossing powder
2. Deco Art:- Media white gesso, Crackle paint, acrylic paint in the following colours Prussian blue hue, Colbolt turquoise, Quinacridone  Gold, Paynes gray,  titan buff, white tinting base, ultra matt varnish.
3. Prisma colour pencils along with Sansador and paper stubb, Foam board A4 sheet cut 1/3 of the bottom cut to make the plaque, hair wax, mod rock, and some gold handmade paper & black card.
