Multi-layered Panel

Morning, Kirsten here. It's Monday again, so it's my turn on the blog. Today's project is one of the That's Crafty! square greyboard panels, given lots of texture with paint, stamping & stencilling...........

This actually began as something completely different, but I didn't like it & painted the panel with black gesso & when that was dry I began brayering on Americana Chalky paint by Deco Art. The more paint I added, the better the texture got, with areas of black showing through............

I added some stencilling, first with the That's Crafty! Bubble Background Dinky stencil, using Smitten paint..........

Then Escape paint through the That's Crafty! Numbers Dinky stencil & Yesteryear through the TC Moc Croc Dinky stencil.........

Next step, applying white gesso with a damp baby wipe.............

Followed by Amethyst & Lilac Mist Starlights through the Imagination Crafts' Daisy Large Flower stencil............

I used a Versamark pen to go around all the petals, one or two at a time, then applying WOW! Vintage Amethyst embossing glitter on top & heat setting.............

To finish, I stamped the IM Script Art Stamp with Amethyst Starlights, applied Black & White Gold Starlights through the That's Crafty! Reverse Honeycomb stencil & stamped the Stampendous

'Life Is....' stamp with Onyx Black Versafine............

                       

Seaside Rice Paper Man's Card

Hi there crafters, hope you're all well.  Today's card is just right for a man's birthday or Father's Day, using the lovely Rice Papers from Imagination Crafts.

I started with the 7" x 7" white card and matted it with black then white card.

First of all I picked my images from the Seaside Sheet No: 284 and placed a piece of white card behind them then stuck them to the white card using the Imagination Crafts Magi-Bond.

I then took a couple of circle dies in two different sizes and die cut them.

Once cut out I cut another slightly larger circle in black and mounted the image onto it.  I then repeated that process with a couple of the smaller images on the paper but left out the black matt.

Next I took the white matt card and painted it with the Grey Americana Décor Chalky Finish Paint all over and left to dry for a short while.  I was really lucky, it was nice and sunny in the room I was crafting so I placed in the window in the sun and it dried super quick.

Next came the background decoration, for this I chose the lovely new Imagination Craft Script Stamp and used Memento Tuxedo ink and randomly stamped around the page.  I then decided it needed another stamp so I used one of the new Crealies Stamps called Crackle and also used a grey ink pad and again stamped the image randomly over the page.  I then stamped one of the background stamps from Hobby Art Textures Set again in grey.

Here's a close up:

I place the Rice Paper images where I wanted them and mounted them all with foam pads but before sticking them down  and adding some thick natural coloured thread for some texture and run it in between the images sticking them down to keep the thread in place.

And that's it, quite a simple card and a pleasure to make using the Rice Papers.

Here's the card again..............

Thank you for dropping by again today, and see you again very soon.

Love Jan -x-
