Products used

Emerald Creek Crafts Magical Mysteries Dragon Egg

Emerald Creek Crafts Boho Blends Desert Clay

DecoArt Black Gesso

DecoArt Metallics Festive Red

DecoArt Crafter's Acrylic Burgundy

DecoArt Crafter's Acrylic Coffee

Take a cheap plastic frame, mine is from Poundland which is like Dollar store.

Cover whole frame in a few coats of black gesso.

Once the gesso has fully dried, paint on red metallic paint.

i created the roses by pressing paper clay into a silicone mold and then backing them until they set.

I then painted them in burgundy and brown acrylic paint. Before the paint dried i sprinkled on the embossing powder and melted it with a heat gun.

I'm Not Weird Mixed Media Tag and Tutorial

Hello crafty friends

I have a mixed media tag to share using the stamps and dies by Gummiapan.

Paint a white tag with Turquoise Metallic Lustre and then Green. Blend them together and then apply modeling paste using a mini stencil.Stamp over base with the Worn Honeycomb stamp and then the Collage Numbers stamp.

Use the Integrated Stars Die and keep paint the  stars with metallic lustre.  Glue them down the tag largest to smallest. Die-cut the doodle circle out of card and glue to centre of tag.

Stamp out a sentiment onto card and cut out the words and place them onto the tag.

Thank you for visiting

DecoArt Blogger Outreach Program: Sea Song Altered Plaque and Process Video Using Susan K Weckesser Spirit Of Mermaid Stamp Set

Good evening
Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday break. I have a mixed media project to share today using the new stamp set called Spirit Of A Mermaid by Susan K Weckesser. Definitely another one for the favorite list.

I started off by painting the base with gesso and then a mixture of blue Crafter's Acrylic paints. I then used the A Little Bit Washi Stamp Set and a stencil to add texture.

I colored in the image with alcohol markers. I wanted her to look like a well known mermaid with red hair. 

I used DecoArt Metallic Luster on the seahorse and fish. I also rubbed a bit onto the stencil to bring it up.

I have a process video to go with the project.
