Second Altered Brandy Liqueur Bottle

The second of the lovely square brandy liqueur bottles.

I painted it in black powertex and then used clear crackle paste over two opposite sides and left it over night to do its thing.

Then I painted it in metallic rust Lumiere paint.

I rubbed over the crackled panels with umbra antiquing paste.

Painted and stuck on the embellishments with black powertex.

And the same on the other side.

And the view from the top.

Then I painted them with metallic paints and also used metallic waxes.

And the same process for the front.

And finally a view from the top.

Altered Brandy Liqueur Bottle

 

This is a lovely square bottle with a heavy base.

De-labelled and painted with black powertex and then on two opposite sides a layer of fibre paste.

Added some resin and wooden embellishments, glued them on with the powertex.

And the opposite side.

I rubbed umbra antiquing paste over a layer of graphite - shabby velour and I think it looks fab.

I painted the other sides with metallic silver Lumiere paint and also added some peacock alchemy wax.

Then I painted the embellishments and tried to make them look rusty.

And this is the other side.

And finally the view from the top.

Angel Trinket Box

 

I watched a FB live on the I love mixed media group and Denise was demoing this mould, so I ordered one (along with some other bits!)

Used fast cast resin in the moulds.

Look how fabulous the details come out.

And the lid, which is solid.

Then I painted it with black gesso, once dried I gave it a coat of anthracite deluxe paste by Pentart.

And I felt it needed some decoration, but didn't want to smother the pot, so I decided just to put something on the lid.

I painted the resin with silver metallic paint and then did the heart in metallic russet Jacquard Lumiere Paint.

I gave everything a coat of varnish including the inside.

And it's finished.

Date with a Gelli Plate

Had lots of fun just playing, here are some of the pages.

And here are some more!!

Been playing.....

With my gelli plate most of yesterday and have a gazillion prints, well 54 to be exact - hehehe!!

Then I went back in with stamps, a posca pen and a marker and added marks and things to them.

Bit more of a close up of the additions.

LP Cube

I painted a block of wood in lumiere metallic olive green as I wanted a dark but bright base if that makes sense!!

I stamped various LP images from the new plates #28 and #30 in black stazon onto a piece of white card.

Coloured the images with various colours of portfolio pastels and blended them.

Added some dots of liquid pearls.

I only have 3 colours, red, green and white.

Artful Times have a theme of box clever, I'm not sure if a cube can be counted, but it's box shape so I'm going for it!!!

Happy 18th

It's my nephews 18th soon so I decided to make him a card. Background is embossed cogs on black card coloured with all the metallic colours of pan pastels. The image is embossed using wow powders in platinum and blueberry. The 18 is coloured with lumiere blue pearl and black fresco paints.

He won't take any notice of the front of the card, he'll just want what's inside!!!

I'm linking up to the PanPastelUk challenge which is celebrations using metallics.

Stamping into GP

I covered a couple of pieces of chipboard with a decent layer of grunge paste. I sprayed a couple of T!m's rubber stamps with water and stamped them into the tacky paste. I left them overnight to completely dry. As you can see, I got some great texture.

Coloured with lumiere paints in blue and purple.

And pewter and rust. I wanted the silver a bit brighter so added in some of the blue.

I went over it with black paint and added the word Soul, but you can't really see the effect in this photo.

Got great depth and texture from the GP though.

And this angle shows the black paint better.

I used lots of different colours of treasure gold over this one to bring out the texture.

From this angle you can see the shimmer the treasure gold gives.
