Hello crafters,
I have been in a Vintage mood lately and decided on a Mixed Media play for a door sign.
I have been in a Vintage mood lately and decided on a Mixed Media play for a door sign.
I used Distress Oxides sprays as well as Prima Blooms sprays to add a bit of lustre to the background.
I added some stamping with Versafine inks not realising that they would not dry on top of the Prima sprays... Having smudged some of the stamping, I had to use clear EP to preserve the stamping. The stamp I used is Crafty Individuals 'Just the Ticket Border' (CI-498).

For my focal point, I die-cut a doily with a prima die and embossed it with a mix of Peacock and Seaglass Wow! powders which have glitter in them.
The large tag is 'Chunky Vintage Typewriter Tag' (CI-455) also from Crafty Individuals, stamped and embossed with black EP.
Embellishments are Ephemera Field Notes Snippets (TH94049) and Tiny Clips (TH94025) both Tim Holtz® Idea-ology™, a paperclip adorned with a button and a piece of washi tape (AALL & Create #13 - Fasteners).
Finally, I added mini brads at the 4 corners the top ones fixing the wire that will be used to hang the sign.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous creation! Thanks for playing at Addicted to Stamps and more
ReplyDeleteSuper joli !!!
ReplyDeleteA garder en tête en effet que la Versafine est une encre qui contient de la cire; Donc sur la peinture acrylique (et son film plastique), le mica, etc. elle "glisse" et met beaucoup plus de temps à sécher que l'Archival... ou bien sûr la Stazon.
Amazing work! I love all the details and vintage feel of your creation. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!
