After sharing quite a clean and simple card last week on the Buzzy Goings on at Bee Crafty blog, I decided to go all out texture and layers this week!
To do this I have decorated one of the MDF tags using lots of mixed media products...
To start I wanted to create some texture on the base so used the Perspective Circles Inkable with a light texture paste, then I added touches of sand paste onto the corners and edges for extra grunge! Whilst this dried I chose 3 of the MDF cogs that I thought would fit nicely. I had positioned different versions onto the tag earlier to help me choose which combination I liked best. These were each coated with white gesso and some more of the sand texture paste added...
Once the pastes were thoroughly dry I painted the tag with white gesso then added white crackle paint to both the tag and the cogs. These were then stuck into place on the tag using a strong white glue...
Next I wanted to add some colour. I chose two acrylic paints, but to create more of a wash effect I put some of the paint on my mat and added water. I also added water to the paint as I dripped it down the tag when I wanted it to be more translucent...
To add a metallic contrast I used silver gilding wax across the textured areas and then added silver micro beads with a heavy gel...
To complete the tag I stamped some small cogs and a selection of small feathers onto old book paper using archival grey ink. The final touches were to then add a sentiment and some ribbon plus a few extra beads...
To make this tag I used the following products...
* MDF Tag (medium)
* MDF Cogs
* Art Stamps - Cogs Set
* Art Stamps - Assorted Small Feathers
* Wordage - Everyday Sentiments 1
* Inkables - Perspective Circles
Thank you for looking and happy crafting!
