Dress up set 

Vintage dress form

wing it chipboard wings

 

I start off painting the whole base white with gesso, I cut off the feet and glued them through my resin gears

Next I'm taking this fantastic vintage paper and decoupaging it to stone paper. this will be cut down to make the dress! 

As you see, I have added paper to the wings and painted them green.

Along with painting the dress form green as well!

now to the fun stuff!!! I took Decoart Antiquing cream covered everything. let that dry a minute and wipe the access off with a babywipe.

Now to just assemble!

Heart Of Thorns!

Today I bring you My Heart of Thorns Canvas! I really had fun making this one and it now resides on                                        my living room wall!

Oh, Did I mention I meant a real heart? LOL I love it!

I got out all my Grunge looking embellishments, and cut up a cracker box to make a smaller box to be centered in the middle of the canvas

I used Dina Wakley Media White Gesso to cover the box.

After the gesso dried I used Finnabairs White Crackle paste to add some texture to the box

Adding more gesso to all my chosen embellishments

my resin heart I just used some plain old red acrylic paint dried  it and used watered down black acrylic over top and blotted off. I just kept adding black and blotting off until I liked the outcome.

another pic of my loved heart!

Now for the canvas! I crinkled up some gold tissue paper and attached it with Mod Podge.

I took more white gesso and did a heavy dry brush on it.

Here I'm starting To add My embellishments using Heavy body gel.

Now I'm lightly adding my color I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays in Rusty Lantern Lime,

Screamin Banshee Black, Shabby Turbine Teal, and Steampunk Sepia. Also Prima Color Bloom in Glistening Waves. I sprayed my canvas down with water added my colors and blot with a baby wipe until I got what I was looking for.

Up close look of that Crackle past effect! love it

used heavy gel to add my pipes and hearts, I'm also using watered down Finnabairs rust pastes to add around the edges off some of the pieces.

I used watered down gesso to splatter white all over, This is one of my favorite techniques!

I also added Nuvo Crystal drops  and some gold texture paste with a stencil as an after thought.

And it's all done! Hope you enjoyed it! I will add links to some of the product I used down below. Until next time!

Altered Wooden Heart Plaque

Hello Lovely People!!!! Today I'm showing you this beautiful altered wooden heart plaque!

                                                          First I gave it a light sanding.

Then a nice coat of white Gesso

Once the gesso is good and dry I added Texture Paste White Crackle through a Crafters Workshop Stencil (Harlequin)

Here I'm just figuring out my composition.

I chose some chipboard from scrapiniec  and resin from some of my silicone molds.

These are the nuance powders I used  and a home made yellow spray.

I sprayed yellow and used a water bottle to tone the color down dabbing with a baby wipe, I then sprinkled on my nuance powders in Nutmeg and Blue Lagune.

Using the same technique, Spraying with water and dabbing off some. You can really see the colors seep down into the crackle paste. Love this effect!

Close up of that crackle!

Using gel medium I attached all my embellishments.

So here is where It went down hill! I LOVE finnabairs waxes! So I decided to highlight the resin with them, but then I did the edge of the heart to. I just didnt like this look at all! I was wanting light and airy. So I went back over that with white Gesso. easy peasy fix!

taking acrylic paint,just the cheap stuff! I watered it down and splashed yellow blue and gold.I then printed out my sentiment covered it with matte gel medium edged it with the same gold wax and fastened that on for the finished look!

I get most of my art supplies From a great shop with a fabulous owner! I'm adding links below for items I used If you want to try out any of these techniques yourself! thanks so much for stopping by
