Craft Consortium Decoupage papers

DecoArt Texture Sand Paste

DecoArt Heavy Gel Medium

DecoArt Premium Acrylic Quinacridone Gold

Wooden box

The cogs are die cut from card and then i covered them in heavy gel medium before sprinkling on chunky rust embossing powder. 

I used Pertina on the clock and added some to the large rusty cog. i added more heavy gel medium to the parts that i wanted to add another colour to.

The box was painted and then i used decoupage paper over the top and sides. Then i painted over it with Quinacridone Gold acrylic paint. Then i glued the pieces onto the box.

I added texture sand paste to the edges of the box and then painted over it with Quinacridone Gold paint to add more rust.

Emerald Creek Crafts April Showers Art Journal

Hi all

It is usually Spring in my part of the world but it is taking a while to warm up. we are having an unusually dry April at the moment. Any way here is my art journal entry for this month's theme.

Emerald Creek Magical Mysteries Embossing Powder Mermaid Fin

Emerald Creek Cling Mount Stamp Carnations 

Paint with gesso first and when it is nearly dry, paint on a light blue acrylic paint with a make up sponge.

Next layer up a few darker blue colours, just paint them on lightly so each colour isn't fully covered.

Stamp around the edges with a texture stamp and then use a stencil to apply a modeling paste through a stencil. Sprinkle on the Mermaid Fin Embossing Powder and then heat to set.

Stamp on the Carnation stamp in the corners of the pages and then stamp some out onto card.

Colour the flowers with watercolour paints and then cut them out so that they can be glued onto the page.

Add journaling to finish
