Hello everyone, I am here today for Mixed Up Magazine to share this wooden panel which I created to showcase a stamp from Rubber Dance called Blossoming Rose.
It
was the quote by Anais Nin included with this image that spoke right to
my heart and caused me to want to create something truly special to
showcase these powerful words...
I
began with a wooden panel which I had painted with some tinted crackle
paint, a new-to-me product from Deco Art that I am absolutely in love
with!!
And
then I decided to take a chance and see if I could stamp and heat
emboss on wood like I do on paper... (using Versafine black ink and CTMH
detail clear embossing powder), and it worked beautifully.
Look
how crisp and clear this image stamped and how the clear embossing
powder created raised and glossy lines which are now cells I can fill
with color.
For
this next step I decided to use my Silks, an acrylic glaze from
ColourArte that is both brilliantly coloured and full of metallic
shimmer.
I
let the color fill the cells and allowed it to pool and blend all on
its own. Another wonderful quality of these Silks is that the colours
layer on top of each other, rather than mixing together, and you can see
all the different tones and shades through each layer.
And
because these are glazes rather than paints, they tint rather than
cover over and the crackled wood grain is still visible through the
color...
And
finally I added a border of my very favourite Golden fluid acrylic gold
paint which, for me, not only finishes off the piece but also makes
everything richer.
So
I do hope you enjoyed my little photo tutorial, and if this inspires
you to create something of your own, please do share it with us in the Mixed Up Mag Mixer facebook group. And now here are all the products I used to create this tribute to Anais Nin's wonderful quote:
