Hi Everyone, today over at A Vintage Journey we start a
new challenge for this month called Stencil It, hosted by my super talented
teamie Amanda.
I was taking the ongoing photographs with my iPad and
unfortunately they vary quite a bit in colour from the finished picture as it was a very
dark wet day. My finished photos have been taken in a light tent, but I felt it
was important to share all my techniques so am still showing these photos.
Let's get started.
I placed the mask onto my canvas and added my Stencil on
the top. I then went over with a layer of crackle paste. Once dry I sprayed a
variety of Lindys Stampgang Sprays.
I now removed my mask.
I stamped my Wildflowers onto Watercolour card wth
Archival ink.
Shading them with Distress Inks and cut them all out.
Adding my decoupaged flowers onto the corner of my frame,
layering up with Silicone glue. Highlighting areas of crackle and my flowers with a touch of gilding wax.
Finishing off with my MDF word Home which was heat
embossed with coordinating Lindys powders.
A final look at the finished project.
Love for you to leave a comment and then hop over to see
the amazing inspirational projects my Teamies have created at A Vintage Journey. You will also find all the details on this month long challenge, I do
hope you get a chance to join in.
Crafty Hugs,

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you showed the step by steps Julie, I would have wondered how you did this otherwise! The crackled stencilling in the central area is superb and the light coloured cone flowers look amazing. I love the corner ones, they look beautiful layered up. This is a wonderful piece of art.
