Undercover Resin


Die cut a heart out of mount board. 
Applied gesso. 
Stamped blobby plants. 
Out lined with the mixtion relief and left to dry until it goes clear when dry but is still tacky. 
Applied gilding flakes to the relief. 
Filled in the blobby plants with the prism. Left it to dry overnight. I love the way the prism reacts whilst drying. 
When fully dry (the hardest bit of this project was not sticking my finger in it to see if its dry, lol) I painted the background with fresco paint mixed with a small amount of infusions. 
Coloured in the stems and stamped on the background with my favouritist stamp of all time! I must use it on nearly everything I make. 
The gilding flakes seemed to disappear a little and the prism went dull! I'm not sure if it's because I did get the background paint on it and I think with rubbing it off I have some how dulled the prism and not rubbed some of the paint off the gilded outline! 
To bring back the shine I applied glossy accents crackle medium and stuck on a 'melt pot' heart with Fantasy Film placed in it whist molten.

Blooming Posh Cogs


On watercolour card I applied different paints to achieve hopefully to look like rust!

 




Stamped flowers. I covered the flower heads with painted clay flowers in the colours of my take on the challenge colours. I interpret ochre as a muddy yellow!
Using the spare cogs from the other posh cogs project I stuck them to the background with matt medium.
Finally applying 3D drops around the flowers then metallic paint to edge the card.

Posh Cogs


I really like trying to turn card n grey board look like rust and obviously using infusions in every project I do!!

Applied sand texture paste to the grey board.
I used a combination of paints to achieve a rust effect.
Sprinkled infusions onto the silk and spritzed with water. Waited for the magic to happen. Advantage of silk is that it looks the same on the back as on the front. I applied matt medium by dabbing it on with a brush so as not to move the colours.
Also did the same with some Kraft card. Using the same infusions as the silk but the effect is totally different.
Die cut the silk, Kraft card and waxed paper.
Arranged cogs on the background then matt medium to glue them in place.
Embellished with some die cut screws and cogs which had already been 'rusted' with rusting powder.
Finally stamped onto card then tried to make it a little bit rusty!
