believe - Guest Designer at A Vintage Journey

The Mixed Media Monthly Honorable Mention

STAMPlorations JUNE MIXED MEDIA Winner

Hi everyone,
I am so excited and honoured to be asked by the team at AVJ once again  to do a Guest design piece for their latest challenge hosted by the very talented Astrid who gave us a fabulous theme 'Texture and Embossing paste'. 

The theme gave my the opportunity to create a textured ATC Canvas for my wall. Below is a description of how I went about it.

I started by covering my canvas with a thin layer of white heavy gesso, scraped on with a palette knife. Let it dry. 

It's time for texture paste! My favorite way to add texture. The paste was used with the Prima ELEMENTALS stencil. I also added the conner with a thick layer of texture paste, which made it very easy to stamp into as you can see at the bottom right.

Next I gave it all a layer of colour. I used Distress Stain and Distress Paint and played around until I was happy with the result. I also added some background stamping.

Finally, I started to make the ATCs. I used White embossing powder to add the texture and then using Color Burst to add some colors. Cutting it into four pieces.

And here is the finished ATCs. I glued four layers gray card behind the ATC to add the dimention.

I hope you like my little inspiration for this month theme.

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a nice day!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,

Ann
