Time is a Healer

Hello everyone, Monique here with a new mixed media project for Sin City Art Stamps

Supply list:

Sin city rubber stamp set Wing it

Chalk Paints in  Blue, Red, grey-green and white.

Metallic paint in gold

Matte varnish

Crackle medium

Antiquing cream in black

Gesso

Burlap

Cardboard 

Waterproof stamp ink in black

Colored pencils

Dies (swirl and scroll-work)

Die-cutting machine

Assorted embellishments 

twine

Alphabet stickers or stamps 

White cardstock

Distress inks in green and brown

HOW TO:

Step 1: stamp the image onto white cardstock and color it using pencils

Step 2: Take a piece of a cardboard box and remove parts of the top layer

 Step 3: Remove some threads from a piece of burlap to create frays on the edges. Add a layer of gesso on the burlap like in the picture

 Step 4: Paint the cardboard blue and add a little white using an almost dry paint brush.

Step 5 : Add some red paint

 Step 6: Die cut the swirl and the scrollwork, then paint them with the grayish green with gold.
To give it an aged look, remove some of the paint with a babywipe or wet cloth.

 Step 7: Add 3 layers of matte varnish, letting it dry in between layers.
This is to seal the image before using the crackle medium.

Step 8: Apply a layer of crackle medium. As the medium dries, it will create an effect as if it is an old painting complete with aged cracks.  Rub some black antiquing cream to further age the image by rubbing it into the cracks.

Step 9: Add water to some black paint and use this to help age the burlap.

Step 10: Assemble the piece with strong adhesive and add some finishing gold details around the edges and on your added embellishments.


Here some close up pictures, the crackle doesn't show very well in the photos but it's there!
