That Craft Place Challenge.

Welcome to all my new followers, hope you enjoy the journey.

And here is my fourth design for :
That Craft Place Challenge Blog.

As usual this fortnight's theme is:
Mixed Media Anything Goes!
So can't go wrong there!

• Started with an MDF heart from That Craft Place and covered it with Gesso.

 

• Next I started adding the texture using Modelling Cream and a stencil from That Craft Place.

 

 

(You may remember me using this stencil before on this tag).

 

 

•  More texture in the form of tissue paper and lace, also from That Craft Place. Lisa has a great collection of lace and ribbons.

 

• A little extra texture now in the form of Micro Beads by Creative Expressions.

•  And it's time to add more Gesso.

 

• The next job was to spray some colour on as you can see below and dry it.

•  And next, yet more texture in the form of crackle paste.

This is so scrummy!

 

 

• When the crackle had developed, I added a little more colour, dried  it, added gold and red gilding wax and sealed it using Ranger Glue and Seal.

At this stage I needed to consider some form of embellishment and for this I used the waste paper which had been on my desk, when spraying the heart.

I set about cutting out some interesting shapes e.g. flourishes, flowers, leaves etc. which I would use to decorate the heart.

 

The gold cord and the buttons are some I got from That Craft Place.

Lisa has lots of embellishments of this type.

Here is the finished heart.

Mixed Media World #6- Gorgeous Textures

Altered Eclectics September Challenge

Instructions for making.

Hi Blogguys and girls here are the instructions for making the Stampotique card.

As always there will be lots of layers so sorry but it's the law 
according to Felix the Crafty Cat!

Equipment needed to produce the Masterboard.

 

Lots of layers there then lol! Again!

 

Draw the pattern for making the house and cut out in stiff card. I like the stuff you find at the back of some envelopes.
Corrugated card for the roof, lovely! Such a great texture.
Then cut the Masterboard, yes I know it's sad but you can make two or copy it.

 

Next stamp several copies of the Stampotique girls and cat on white and sprayed paper.

Tim Holtz cobweb on tissue paper.

 

 

Prepare the border and roof canopy. I used the Face Art stamp from Studio 490 using just the top section.

 

 

 

Pour the Utee onto the heat proof mat and stamp into it, wait for it to cool and then remove the stamp. I applied metallic rub-ons. I attached this to the paper with Hi Tack glue.

 

The walls were stamped with Crafty Individual crackle stamp ( I must use this so much!), on card that had already been sprayed.

Then emboss with Tim Holtz embossing folder.

More colour can be added to enhance the effect.

 

 

Now it's time to construct.

Further detail added in the form of smoke and fencing.

Emphasise the faces with 3D Crystal Lacquer and Stickles.

The label was computer generated.

 

 

The cat's wings were fusible film, stamped with a wing stamp.The moon was made using friendly plastic and a push mould and enhanced with metallic rub-ons. And there you have it.
