Black Sun Rising

Every new journal entry I try doing something different, to learn, to experiment, this  piece is one such.


The background was a collage with tissue papers and then stippled with colors. I used various stamps by Andy Skinner and stencils by Seth Apter to add further texture. I used same colors as background but in various tints to maintain uniformity.



The foreground panel was done with copier paper and modelling paste applied though Tim Holtz stencil. The entire piece was painted with steampunk copper by Finnabair followed by DecoArt Antiquing Cream in Patina. Once Cream (aka paint) dried you can rub with damp cloth, more you rub lesser the distress effect. I highlighted the raised surfaces with Finnabair waxes.



The focal point is layered piece. The rays were done on deli paper which had some texture already. I applied ItsyBitsy fiber paste and painted it black. Once dry I applied various Stampendous embossing powder followed by washes in green and black. Center of sun was built using texture paste through Seth Apter's stencil, rust pastes was then applied. To add interest beads were stuck using matte medium.

After assembling gold color scribbles was added using fineliner bottle. I added equal portion of gold paint and gloss medium to create liquid consistency.

Then loads of stenciling and stamping was done.  The mandala and the pattern were stenciled in white andheat embossed. The smaller pattern was outlined with 3D paint.

A simple card sprayed with Distress and Lindy sprays. Stenciled and stamped in shades of brown and black to maintain same color tone. The lamps were stenciledb outlined with Golden deep gold paint which was piped though the FineLine bottle. Inside details were heat embossed wth distress glaze to give stained glass effect.  

Keep going - Week 5 2021

  Hectic week  so a quick card made with texture paste and heat embossing. The focal image was   stamped with wooden blocks with Delicata Ink . Since ink remains wet I was able to pour embossing powder and heat emboss it.
