Deco Art Journal With Vintage Wash and chalky Finish paint

Hi everyone Dee here with a post using the new Vintage wash paints & the Eileen Hull Journal die from Sizzix. I am in love with the colours & the whole feel of this journal it's
like old worn soft leather I can't explain but its so tactile and vibrant.

Please see the base of the post to see the products used

Method Used

1. Cut the grey board with the Eileen Hull Journal die.
2. Glue together I used artist tape.
3. Paint with Chalky Finish paints painting the colours randomly over both sides of the Journal.
4. Once dry follow with the Vintage wash in Turquoise knocking back with a dry cloth and a baby wipe in the area's that i wanted clear colour follow this with the Patina Vintage wash.
5. For the inside I wanted a more vibrant red so used the Beige & Red Orange with only a tiny bit of Turquoise.
6. Seal the whole surface with Soft Touch Varnish.
7. Once all dry I stamped the script stamp randomly using Stazon ink.
8. I then followed this with the alphabet stamp and versfine ink using the stamp and bond then heat set.
9. Using a brush dab the gold pigment powder over the stamp and bond then using a large fluffy brush stroke over to remove the access powder.
10. To colour the coin I painted first with gold media fluid followed by raw umber.
11. Using first patina antiquing cream knock it back follow with white gentle remove and swipe with guilding wax.
12. Thread up your Journal using cord as per instructions and I attached some beads to the ends.

Teal into Rust Canvas

I made this canvas using lots and lots of different technique's and crackle mediums

I used so many I can't remember what exactly I did. I do Know that it was 

all inspired by France papillon.

What I do remember was that I built it all up gradually.

This was a small canvas board about A4 size.

I tripple embossed a couple of Tando circles and I used a embossing folder

to make the rulers.

One was used with copper sheet and one on card.

I used a quinacridone gold along with autumn leaves gold along with

Prussian Blue hue & teal magicals with glazing medium was used

to colour it.

Micro beads along with art stones were put into the pastes while wet.

Prussian Blue hue along with teal magicals with glazing medium was used

to colour it.

I Attached the circles to the canvas to complete the piece.

I hope you all like my canvas please feel free to leave me a comment or two as 

I appreciate each and every one of you dropping by.

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
