Hello wonderful creatives,
Today, I
decided to share with you two door tags "LOVE" and "BLISS", comparing the
effects of two of the Finnabair's new Rust Pastes: Camouflage and Metal.
These tags are plywood based, so to make the surface suitable
for mediums and colours, I prepped them with Black and White Gesso.
Black base tag:
Initially
I adhered some stained tea bags with 3D Matte Gel onto the tag base. This Gel acts as an excellent adhesive.
Once stuck, I added some coffee
stains and Art Stones for detailing. Adding coffee powder to Art Stones and 3D Matte Gel lets you achieve wonderful 'aged' textures.
Then, I stuck some metal embellishments with Heavy Body Gel. Because of its extremely thick,
extra heavy body this gel medium is the perfect choice for sticking
metal pieces to any mixed media project.
I used the Camouflage Rust set
for the black base tag. It is so easy to create a unique steampunk,
grunge or masculine project with the Rust Pastes from the Art Extravagance collection by Finnabair for Prima.
These pastes are opaque and
thick with a matte, rust-like finish and they're fantastic for
giving your projects a rusty texture and adding dimension.
White
base tag:
For the white door tag, I used a 'Doily' stencil and created
some beautiful textures with Art Extravagance White Crackle Paste mixed with some coffee powder!
I added some coffee
stains with diluted coffee to reveal the cracks of the design and toned it down to match the rust colour theme.
The Metal Rust Pastes set is comparatively darker than the Camouflage one, so I used a white
base to show its beautiful effect.
The best part about the newly
released rust pastes is that they belong to the same colour family and
if you are a Finnabair Rust Paste addict like me, there are umpteen
possibilities to mix and match them.
Then, some Art Stones and embellisment were stuck to finish the composition and
finally, the tag was finished with more Metal Rust Paste.
In the last step, I added
some diluted White Gesso splatters on both the door tags followed by
some highlights with Metallique Paints.
I have also adhered some random paper
strips to add some dimension and interest.
Please, enjoy my video tutorial and see how I created these two mixed media tags step by step.
I had a blast using the new Rust Pastes and Metallique acrylic paints and I think only sky is the limit to the
countless possibilities of combining these goodness or using them as a
stand-alone ingredient to cook your art creations!
I hope I gave you
some ideas and your creative fluids would be flowing now! :)
Sending warm hugs,
xo
