The Amazing Colours Of Rust

Hi every one hope you are all ok and busy crafting away, Today I have 

been trying to recreate rust as I think it is truly beautiful from it's 

aqua's and turquoise through to russet and copper tones.

So here we go lots of photo's

This was created with Deco Art's media range.

I have a collection of photo's of rust on my Pintrest page under inspiration.

from these photo's I have tried to recreate the natural effects of rust

I am very pleased with them.

more photo's just in case you missed any crackle!!!!!

Fragile Paper Challenge

Hi everyone I have been off for a couple of days as I mentioned on my last

post yesterday I think wow you can tell by the number of posts that

 I am publishing.

I did this one for the PaperArtsy Challenge it was to be 

very simple but just didn't get there.

I used torn paper from a second hand book onto a distress

stain sprayed tag.

I used Deco Art Media line white crackle paint over a random 

streaks of fresco finish stone. 

I used Tim Holtz Visual artistry stamps with black archival ink. Once the 

Media crackle paint had dried I used a tiny bit of watered 

down Phihalo turquoise over the top.

I filled in the clock face with Media liquid glass. Highlighted area's 

with oil pastiles.

Ok thats it I am going to enter it now I have enjoyed this project.

don't forget to leave a comment or two.

Old Copper Chest

Hi everyone I am sorry its taken so long to do a new post but

I have been crazy busy at work. I hope you 

think it is worth the wait.

I received the lovely Deco art products and for any of you

who have not tried these you must as they are amazing!!!

The antiquing creams and media line mediums are the best the results you 

can achieve with them really appeal to my style of work. 

Firstly I wanted a wash so I watered down Raw Sienna in a mini mister

and sprayed it over the card, I repeated this with watered down 

Burnt sienna from the Decco Art  Media line range.

I used a mix of stamps from my stash Tim Holtz classics, La Blanche, Art Journey,

and a background script stamp.

I coloured in the images with watered down Phatholo Turquoise, Quinacridone Blood Orange,

Interference gold from the media range and white. finally sealed with

 Deco page matte Medium.

Firstly I got a cardboard chest from a craft shop to which I glued black card 

that had been embossed with a swirl pattern.  I then applied Media 

crackle paste to the edges and into this i pressed small glass beads. 

Next I gave it a coat with gesso and allowed to dry.

This was followed with a coat of copper from deco arts dazzling matallics range.

Once dry i covered the chest in Carbon Black antiquing Cream knocked it back with a damp cloth and coated it with Deco page Matte medium. This was followed with Patina antquing cream.

I wanted to highlight the detail again so dipped my finger into the copper paint and 

rubbed the paint gently over the surface.

One last coat of matte medium.

I attached the clasp to the front.

I am very pleased with the result this truly is an amazing product.

I hope you have enjoyed this project and forgive me for the delay.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year. Thank you all for your 

support over the last six months,  I hope that you all continue to follow me

 into the new Year as your support is what drives me.

As always please leave me a comment or two.
