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 rhinestone chain and star glitter. They were stuck with Allen's glue and further secured by pouring Golden gloss medium on the top,the medium dries clear givning beautiful gloss sheen. You can make so many embellishment using this technique, I learnt this from Gwen Lafleur whose art work has many such wonderful pieces incorporated.

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.

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.
