Welcome to another day of feeling distressed! Making a project look old and worn using Stampendous Cling Rubber Stamps designed by DecoArt‘s Executive Creative Consultant, Andy Skinner is going to be all kinds of fun! My inspiration came from Andy Skinner's 3-part video series on creating rust: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3! See all the prize details on the Stampendous Blog.
Here's my project today:
Here's my project today:
Speaking of parts, this is a two-part project, so be sure to stop by on Friday to see the rest of it! I was inspired by Andy's rust techniques and used two of them today. I also used his Alcohol and Acrylic Layering technique for the trees. They almost look like they're cut from wood, don't they? My result was slightly different than his, but I loved playing with drips of alcohol into a color wash of acrylic paint! Finally, I used his Shabby Patina Effect that inspired my background.
Since it is Dreamweaver Thursday, you'll see my patina background used the Quatrefoil stencil, but any Dreamweaver stencil would work just fine. The watercolor paper was dry embossed first and then the shabby patina painted layers were added.
The trees were a portion of the Dreamweaver Tree Line cutting die. They are mounted on a piece of chipboard that was rusted using Andy's Part 2 technique. You'll see more of this technique in tomorrow's project.
The trees were affixed to the patina background and Stampendous Spoonful of Rust and Spoonful of Gold were sprinkled on one corner and heated from underneath until it melted. Then the other corner was completed in the same manner.
