Andy Skinner Challenge

For the Andy Skinner challenge "Bold and Bright" I made this canvas board.


Deco Art products used: Americana Acrylics in Festive Green, Red Alert, Lamp Black, Snow White, Carousel Pink, Saffron Yellow. Modelling paste, Gesso, Americana multi surface acrylic in Lemon Zest, Glamour Dust Glitter paint in Turquoise Sparkle, Deco Art Media fluid acrylics in Ultramarine Blue. Andy Skinner Stencils: Hippy Chic, Serendepidy, Industrial elements, code breaker, Americana Mixed Media stencil: Dandelion and the Andy Skinner Indsrtrial rubber stamp set by Stampendous.

I started by Gessoing BOTH sides of the canvas board (they will bend if you only paint one side it's very annoying) next I used paintbrushes , sponges, and my fingers (yikes) to get all the colors on the canvas board, try not to create mud by drying the colors you don't want to mix first before changing to another color (the yellow and green will be ok to mix and the yellow and red too, but green an red is mud so be a bit careful when you slap the paint on, lol, I know it looks like the colors are put on their without thinking.....well,,,,,truth is I did think and this is attempt 2  number 1 is in the bin. LOL).

When base layer of paint is dry and looks the way you want it is time to do the stenciling, first all the Andy Skinner stencils,  and I used different colors to stencil them, depending on the background colour they were used on. Next I used some round shapes and  Americana Snow White and Lamp black to stamp the circles. Also used some mesh as mask. Stamped the crackle stamp from the Industrial stamp set randomly using Archival Jet black. When all the stamping and stencling was done,  I stenciled the word SOAR using lamp black Americana acrylic paint. (use a paint brush that is suited for stencilling, Deco Art has those).

Let Dry and while the paint is drying mix  modeling paste with some Media Fluid acrylic (I used Ultramarine Blue) and use that with the Dandelion stencil, I used a pallete knife to apply.  Let dry and use turquoise glitter paint to go over the dandelions to give them some sparkle.

I guess this is as bold and bright as I can get ( hubby asked me if was OK, when he saw I made this, told him it was Andy's fault, I don't think he understood lol). No worries guys I will get back to dark eventually :-)

I will enter this in the following challenges":

The organge lines are made by staming with the back of the paint brush (spiced orange)  The ornge circles are outlined using a black glass paint marker and also drew some hearts in.

De Stempelwinkel challenge

For the challenge at de Stempelwinkel I made this art journal page, theme of the challenge is use words. I wrote a quote on my page and used a page of an old dictionary, also the feather stamp I used has a bit of text on it, in the corner of the page you can see a little fly stamp that comes from the Collagabilities Nature sheet which also has the feather on it.

Deco Art Products used: Americana acrylic gesso, Americana acrylic paint  in snow white , Media shimmer mister in Turquoise, Metallic Lustre in Gold Rush and Rose Gold

First I gessoed the page and used the gesso as glue to add the disctionary page, so I gessoed the whole page and while it was still wet I put the book page on and gessoed over the book page as well. Let dry.

Next I used a stencil and the shimmer mister, I sprayed throught the stencil to get the patern on the page and while the mister ink was still wet I wiped out the middle part where the stamp is.

In the middle part I use white acrylic paint and next I used a diamond shape stencil to stencil the metallic lustres ariund the edges of the book page,

When pain was dry I stamped the feather and the fly, used Derwent inktense pencils to color the feather and the fly.

Next I used some Distress inks to age the page and to blend it all in.
