Morning Bloggers
Sorry about the weird angle of this picture.
It's taken me ages to get a decent picture that shows the iridescence of the paint.....and its still not right!
White Ikea Mirror, Tim Holtz Texture Fade Embossing Folders and Some Die Cut Shapes along with Black Gesso and Inka Gold Paints.
UPDATE .... A quick 'How To'
Sand
the surface of the frame down a little
so
it will 'grip' the glue.
Emboss
white card stock using various Embossing Folders.
I
used Centura Pearl, the reverse, white side, for this.
THREE
passes through my embossing machine
gave
a lovely, deeply embossed, impression.
Using
a good quality Medium/Glue (Rangers Glue and Seal)
Glue
down all of the embossed card stock onto the frame.
Glue
Chip Board and /or card stock Die Cuts on next.
Paint
with the black Gesso ensuring every part is covered.
Dry
and apply a second coat.
Dry
again, then Paint with the Inka Gold Paints.
When
dry, buff over the surface with a soft cloth
The
paints contain Beeswax and have a lovely shine
A few of us did a similar technique using Bitumen and white spirit when we went to a Karen Clare Workshop.
We had a fabulous time.
Back soon.
Thanks for looking at my blog today.
