#itac17 #itac17Final #aallandcreate

Deco Art Traditions in: Opaque White, Phthalo Blue, Carbon Black, Red Violet, Ultra Marine Blue, Naphtal Red Light, Hansa Yellow

Deco Art Metallic Lustre in Orange Flicker and Deco Art Texture Stucco

I used the backside of a canvas and added a layer of stucco on the frame to smooth out the edge of the canvas and the staples.
The background is painted using watercolor paper and paint thinned with water to create a watercolor effect (wet in wet). The same colors were used on the frame.
The stars a re spattered using white paint and a fan brush.

The skyline is a diecut, black cardstock covered with some metallic lustre.

The Globe is also a diecut , I added some distress ink and metallic lustre.

The words are stamped and on wone side of the canvas I added some wire to attache the words to.

I finished the piece bij adding some black paint to the edges of the frame

This was made for the ITAC 17 final, I enjoyed all 6 challenges :-)
