This is a dollar store wooden piece I've been playing with
all morning. I was hoping to achieve a sort of "hammered metal"
finish, and this is the result.
- To get here, I first painted the box with Gesso, then Lumiere
gold paint.
- Then I tore up and crumpled up hundreds of little bits of
tissue paper, and stuck them all over the box with Aleene's
Original Tacky Glue. I also glued on pieces of lace to the
top and bottom.
- After I heat-dried this layer, I finger-painted a layer
of gel medium all over, and heat set that.
- Then I added several layers of silver, gold, and platinum
embossing powders, heating to melt after each addition. When
you heat after using the gel medium and PVA glue, you get
some really neat "bubbling" effects added to your texture.
- Then I used several different colours of Lumiere paints,
rubbing them all over the textured base with my fingers.
- I stamped and black-embossed the Quietfire Design sentiment
stamp on a piece of Lumiere-painted chipboard, added Swarovski
crystals around the edges, and rolled the edges in platinum
UTEE, heat embossing again
- . Finally, I stamped these new Quietfire Design dragonflies
in a couple of colours of Fantasy Film, and glued them to
the box, along with a couple of larger Swarovski crystals
for their heads.
