Hello everyone!
This month my project took turn to vintage, old walls feeling.
I wanted to re-create
the old peeled walls with romantic feel.
I used some Prima
flowers, Mechanicals and Impasto in Victorian Green. This shade of green
reminds me so much of the colors from my childhood, when me and my sister spent
some time in the summer with my grandmother in the country. Precious memories.
New Sepia wax was a good ally too.
When I use the new
antiquing waxes I spread them all over and before they can dry, I use wet wipe
to clean the top of the surface I`m using.
I think this way they
give depth and they look more natural.
On this project I played with my background more than usually and I think I managed to achieve the look I was going for – vintage, shabby and nicely worn out.
I love all Finn`s pastes and for me it`s always hard to use just one. So I combine them. The texture they create together is just awesome.
When I was making my
tags with the new waxes I used Plaster paste as a base for stamping. I did the
same here.
The thick paste creates
nice layer and it`s easy to stamp on it. It gives different texture then
stencils and probably most importantly, it doesn`t damage the stamp.
Hugs, Martina.
