Vintage Tag

This tag is made using a piece of cardboard, gesso-ed it and then went crazy with paints :-)

 

Supply list:

 

Deco Art Americana Glazing medium

Deco Art Americana Acrylic paint:

Traditional burnt Sienna  DA223

Traditional burnt Umber DA 221

Lamp (ebony) black DA 067

Light buttermilk DA 164

Americana Weathered Wood Crackle Medium

 

 

first I painted the tag using Light Buttermilk, let dry and stamped the images on the tag using Archival Jet black ink. Let dry.

Then I coloured the stamps using Caran d'ache coloured pencils and blended using odourless white spirit.

Careful cause the white spirit disolves when blending the pencil, so it's a bit harder to do than colouring on paper.

Let dry, cause the blending wets the paint a bit

Then I added a layer of weathered wood. Let dry again (lol you do need some patience for this)

The top layer is traditional burnt Sienna. Watch it crack, but don't let dry completly.

Carefully whipe of the top layer on the spots you want the stamps to show.

Let dry again.

Then I sanded a bit, and  added a bit lamp black. The final step is to glaze the whole tag using a mixture of Glazing Medium and traditional burnt umber.
