I couldn't wait to try out this new Andy Skinner technique that I've only just come across, think I missed it with being on holiday, but you can see it here. I pretty much copied what he did. I used a mix of treasure and lace DecoArt chalky paint for the base and then a coat of Media white antiquing cream, rubbed back with a babywipe.
I have the industrial set of stamps on pre-order but they haven't hit the UK yet, so had to improvise. I used a couple of the Finn background stamps with black stazon. It came out a bit blockey but I carried on with it.
Next media black gesso and a stencil, love how crisp the images have come out.
And the final touch, the dirty wash mix.
I really love how this turned out and it was so easy to do.
All products are from the DecoArt range.
Smashing Sam! Love what you are doing with these products.
