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!
This is utterly FANTASTIC. That heart looks so real. You really outdid yourself Nicole. Love it so much.
