True North

Hello fellow Crafters,

Today I have altered a box for the PaperArtsy Challenge 2015 topic 3 : paint. I love paint, any paint but the Fresco Paints by PaperArtsy are definitely very lush !






I painted the box with white gesso and then the lid with Little Black Dress and the bottom with Stone Fresco paints. I brushed the lid with Crackle glaze and then added stone over the top. I love to watch it crackle. Next I stamped all the images ( a Lynne Perella set from PaperArtsy) on tissue paper and glued them on the box with gel medium. I also put gel medium over the top. When this had all dried I used Big Brush Pitt Markers to colour everything and to shade. Next I die cut some flowers and brushed them too with gel medium and used the same Big Brush Markers to colour them too. They were adhered to the box with gel medium as was the metal embellishment in the middle.
That was it; thank you so much for stopping by today !

Hope you like it...

    Corrie, I love this so much. The colours you used are amazing and you created a lovely aged effect. I like the repeat stamping of the shell motif and also the embellishment of that stunning flower.
    All very special.
    Wishes
    Lynne

    What a great piece! I am very partial to any crackling, so of course I love this. But in addition, I love your colors and all of the stamping - the shell and feather motifs are perfect for that base. And love that top image! xx Lynn
