Altered art project

 

Hi everybody!

 

Here is my creation for this months gorgeous, earthy, rusty

April moodboard challenge at The Dusty Attic

 

I hope you'll join us this month!

 

 

I was also inspired by the April moodboard from Berry71bleu 

 I would like to enter my project for this challenge

 

 

I started with covering an old piece of package paper with graphite paste and sprinkled some tiny art stones on it.

When it was dry, I added a thick layer of clear crackle varnish over it, with my palette knife.

A night of drying, and the next morning I had these gorgeous crackles!

 

 

I added my chipboard pieces and art pebbles with 3d gel, and let it dry for some time.

Meanwhile I painted the flowers with black gesso, and let them also dry.

 

When all was dry, I covered the whole project with black gesso.

And then... the fun started!

 

First came a layer of Lindy's Stamp Gang spray Gossamer Gold

I dried it with the heattool.

 

 

I started adding color with the Dusty in Colour paints, dabbering them gently on the chipboard pieces and flowers.

 

Next I added soft shimmer with Finnabair waxes

 

I tried to create some rust effect with a little bit of the rust effect paste from Finnabair too.

 

And last but not least, I stamped my new Tim Holtz butterfly images, and embossed them with Lindy's Stamp Gang Midnight Bronze embossing powder
