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



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.  



Don't forget its anything goes over at 
Sandee and Amelie's Steampunk Challenge the team have 
created some amazing projects to inspire you. Why not pop

Deco Art experimenting with Dazzling Metallics


Hi Everyone I hope you are well as my followers will know I am on the 
Deco Art Outreach blogger program & have been for about a year now
if not a bit longer. I generally use Deco art products in most of 
my projects as I love the range but I mainly stick to the Media 
Range but wanted to try the Dazzling Metallics range. This
range has a vast array of colours and numerous
golds again a great favourite of mine.
 So for this first play with using it on a project I started with a tag
and stamped a heart on it 4 times in black staz on. Next I used
ecoline inks to trace round the hearts lots of water and
brown Bistre was sprinkles and spritzed with water
till I was happy withe the result.
Next I picked 5 golds from the Deco Art Dazzeling Metallics range 
Rich Expresso is @ the very bottom,  Venitian gold, splendid gold,
 emperors gold covered with Champagne gold. next I used 
the media range clear crackle glaze which 
I applied with my finger.
while I waited for the glaze to dry I covered a Tando creative 
small key with texture sand paste which again I applied
 with my finger. 
Once dry I painted it with Media carbon black fluid acrylic paint
 once dried I then picked up Rich expresso with my finger and just 
lightly touched the key so it just picked it up in areas, 
very much how you would used treasure gold.
Back to the hearts the gold is translucent so again using my fingers
 I used Media antiquing cream in black over the hearts and 
knocked back once dry with a baby wipe.  
My fingers are looking glorious by now!!!!
 The black has gone into the cracks as you can see above.
Next I gave the whole tag a coat soft touch matt varnish to seal the 
inks and bistre but did not go over the hearts. I then covered 
the area again with deco page matt sealer then I 
applied stamped tissue paper over the top. I
have just realised there is some glue residue 
on the above heart just be careful.
I pulled off the tissue paper and decorated my scabbed pieces with
carbon black media fluid acrylic knocking it back and edging with
rich expresso all applied by my very messy fingers!!!
I backed it onto black card they had been roughed up with a blade then 
edged with rich expresso think this might be my favourite.
Okay so what I learned was that the colours are translucent
 which I love as you can just glimps the pattern
 underneath. The other brilliant thing is they are 
all interchangeable across the range's.
I also find it helpful to make colour charts of the colours I have on
both black and white card as colours vary on different backgrounds
also it fives you a feel of how to work the paint and its properties 
as all paints have their own. One last bit of information 
regarding Deco art products they can be purchase from 
Hobby craft and are very reasonably priced compared to 
some of their competitors. 
These really are amazing products go and try for yourself. 
Well that's it for today folks thank you for popping by please 
let me know what you think and if you found it useful.
Cheers Dee x
