Hello Hello :)

LOL yes another Relics and Artifacts step out LOL. But this one didn't get used on the Muse blog so I am sharing it with you on my blog :) :) :)

A close up of this project was shared on the Muse blog >>> HERE :) :) :) the project was originally posted for Valentines on the Prima Marketing blog >>> HERE :) :) :)

I have used the heart and flame from the Chivalry range

I really enjoyed creating this project to celebrate Valentines, I loved experimenting with the textures and different Finnabar products.

So here is the product list and below that the step out with images. I hope you enjoy :)

Prima Materials List

941710 Relics and Artifacts Archival Cast Rising Spirit

961459 Finnabair Heavy Gesso Black

573799 Prima Marketing Color Bloom Spray Mist Vintage Coal

961602 Finnabair Glitter Set Ebony & Ivory

Other

Krylon Gold Metallic spray paint

Chicken wire

22 gauge gold wire

Recycled earing

Imaginarium Designs grey board

Ranger Glossy Accents

Begin by coating the chicken wire and cast heart and flame with gold metallic spray paint, dry off with a heat tool.

To assemble the flaming heart cut a base plate to adhere the heart and flame casts to; out of heavy duty grey board or thin ply wood. Then attach chicken wire to front of heart and tie in place at black using thin gold wire.

When glue is dry begin by distressing the flame using black gesso    

Apply gesso using a soft cloth, and then buff off using a moist wet wipe, ensuring you leave gesso in depressions. Allow to dry.

Apply a liberal coat of vintage coal spray mist to the heart and then mist off partially with misted water. Dry off with heat tool.

Repeat the above step until you get a graduated colouring of the heart    

Adhere old earing jewel to the cast flame with strong clear drying glue, and apply random daubs of glossy accents glue on the cast heart, flame and wire as depicted above.

   

Sprinkle glittery black glitter over areas of glossy accents and shake off excess. Allow to dry.

And there you have it :) :) :)

Cheers and Happy Scrapping :)

Relics and Artifacts :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

I have another Relics and Artifacts project step out to share with you :)

This is a layout I created for the Winter CHA 2016 release of Relics and Artifacts for Prima Marketing. It was originally blogged on the Relics and Artifacts Muse blog >>> HERE :) :) :)

At the time I created this I was really quite chuffed LOL but lets face it no one is going to replicate this type of layout so its a bit of a one off LOL :) :P But it was a lot of fun creating it :)

So here is the step out and Prima Product list:

941628 Archival cast figure heads

961503 Texture paste Crackle medium white

961473 Texture paste Sand medium white

961442 Heavy Gesso White

961459 Heavy Gesso Black

572061 Wire Thread Ink Black

Other: Imaginarium Designs 12 x 12 grey board, staples, Krylon Gold Foil Spray paint.

Begin by preparing the background grey board with a coat of heavy white gesso using a foam foller. Then adhere selected RELICS & ARTIFACTS® Figureheads to the background using strong clear drying glue.

Using a palette knife apply sand medium in random areas on background

Using palette knife apply crackle medium in areas where there is no sand medium.

Create a photo frame using wire thread, begin by forming multiple loops and then bend into the shape of a heart, attach to back ground using a stapler.

Apply a coat of gold foil spray paint to the lower 2 thirds of the layout, including the Figureheads and the bottom half of the wire thread heart frame loops.

To highlight the texture of the sand and crackle medium apply some heavy black gesso using a moist baby wipe; rub into cracks and depressions and then buff off excess.

Using the same technique highlight the facial features of the Figureheads.

To complete seal the layout with artist grade matte sealer and adhere photo to centre of wire thread frame using adhesive foam dots and extra strong glue on the underside of the foam dots.

I do hope you have like this share, Cheers for now!
