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.

Texture - week 7 2021

I love to have textures made with paste and acrylic skins. I wanted to incorporate one such in my project for SimonsaysStamp Monday Challenge -  Texture .  The background was made using Distress oxides and inks. I added more interest using stencils and stamps using archival inks and Distress inks.  The hero of the card is the texure on acrylic skin.  The skin was made by giving two coats of matte medium on silicone mat. Once dry the texture paste was applied using stencil, when dried it was painted with Golden paints and highlighted using Finnabair waxes in Rose Gold and Old Gold. I made them popup more by using white posca pen. The elephant was drawn on Neenah cardstock, colored with Distress oxide in yellow and Posca pens in yellow and orange. It was cut and embellished with sequins, beads, scrap paper and liquid pearls. I hope you liked it.

Resist It - Week 6 2021

  For Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Resist It The background was done with loads of colors using Distress oxides. I wanted the background to be important part of the piece, so I decided to create resist pattern.I used Stencilgirl Gwen Lafleur's stencil with versamark watermark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I ensured that I placed the stencil so the different colors were present in the resist pattern. I then covered the rest of background with shades of brown Distress Oxide (oxide being opaque covered the bright colors). I used Distress inks on top of oxide to get more vibrant shade. The corners were stamped and heat embossed with gold. The focal image consists of filigree chipboard which was embossed with chunky and fine embossing powders  in different shades of gold.  The medallion in the middle is two circular cardstock pieces placed one on top of the other. Outer circle was decorated with seed beads and bugle while inner circle has rhineston...
