OGood afternoon to you all. I got back from my sisters in time to play. Everywhere I look lately, metal and rust are there, so couldn’t resist creating something of my own.
On the Paper Artsy Blog the theme is shiney things and I will enter this in the challenge
I scraped white gesso with a knife onto a small wall board. Once this was dry I scraped Grunge Paste in small areas on the board. I made it very rough to add texture. Next I sprayed Turquiose Fresco Acrylic at the top of the board and let it run. I helped it with a little spray of water where I wanted it to run more. While this was drying I added a little more water to my spritzer and then added Baltic Blue to darken the colour. I sprayed this second coat and again let it run.
While this was drying I die cut a heart, some coins, flowers, a small plant and a trellis. I gave each of these a coat of black Media fluid. The trellis, coin and flower part I painted with Quinacridone Gold and allowed to dry. I used bronze Treasure Gold to add to the rust look. The other pieces were coated in a translucent silver, and when dry silver Treasure Gold was used to complete the metallic look.
The heart was first given some script via Grunge Paste and a stencil. Once dry it was given a coat black, and then silver. Once these coats were dry, I rubbed black Antiquing Cream in all over the heart. This was then removed with a damp cloth leaving a little around the words. Silver Treasure Gold was added to the texture on the heart and the board.
I used silver spheres on wire with some beaded wire to form a bouquet and assembled my flower adding a small metal button to the centre. I stamped a sentiment and assembled my board.
Thank you for visiting, come back soon.
Take Care Debxx
