NOW FOR THE CHALLENGE! CHALLENGE #10 - SPRAY IT! PAINT I! SMEAR IT! EMBOSS IT!
Show us your inner mixed media diva! Use spray mists, inks, paints, modeling paste, embossing powder, pastels, chalk and whatever messy media you can find! Let's dig into that hoard, pull out some of that "messy stuff" and use it up! There's a messy-maker hiding in all of you! Let her/him out to play!
Here's my project for this challenge. I did a couple of small canvas pieces with some vintage ladies.
I first gessoed the canvas pieces and then used some light moulding paste with the beautiful Peacock Stencil from Stencil Girl..so much fun. After that dried I started misting with some Lindy's Stamp Gang "Tainted Love Teal" and "Red Hot Poker Orange" and love the effect with the stencil. I than gathered up some of my metal hoard and altered the pieces with some Ranger Patinas "Vertigris" and "Aged Bronze". I also misted some white flowers with the Tainted Love Teal and Red Hot Poker Orange. I added some hot air balloons for a bit of contrast. I also used "white" WorldWin Paper behind the images to matt the photo paper and used my heating tool to "crack" the photo paper.
