S-S-S&SHOW DISTRESSED/SANDED & SUNDAY STAMPERS PAINT IT BLACK

Today I am entering one piece into 2 challenges,
I hope that's OK, It dose fit the criteria for both the
Simon says stamp and show Your Distressed/Sanded Projects!
& the Sunday stampers - Week 122 - Paint It Black
click on there names to find out all the details for each challenge.

I have made the front cover for my journal here it is hope you like it,


I have used ten second studio, copper metal and 2 different moulds & tools,
Tim holtz flourish stamp and paper & idea-logy bits as well as Tim's sander
paper artsy time sentiment (it's stamped into the ferro) & leaves
Wendy Vecchi script stamp,
Terra & ferro, black acrylic paint & cut & dry foam,
a touch of mica sprays in turquoise & copper,
black archival ink pad, jumbo java chalk ink pad,
chip board (for backing & arch)
& from my stash a flower punch, a sentiment magnet,
a piece of swade cord an old watch face & a small padlock key,

I thought I would take some shots
of the work in progress this time as I usually forget,
here is the background to try & show the mica mist etc,


here is the arch, I used Terra & ferro to hide the join where the metal ends,
one is a creamy consistency that bubbles when you heat it,
the other has a more sandy consistency that it perfect for stamping into
(clean stamp strate after use) once they were dry
I covered the whole thing with black acrylic paint then wiped it off
the high points on the metal with a baby wipe,
as I did the boarder at the bottom of the finished piece, I then sprayed it with mica sprays,
I punched 3 flower shapes with gold metal
& covered it with black acrylic paint
when it was almost dry I wiped some off with a baby wipe,
then assembled in the usual way,


before assembling it all together I took Tim's sander
& sanded some of the metal to reveal the silver aluminium underneath,
I also sanded the edges of the background to distress it all,
& went back over the edges with an almost dry foam pad
with black acrylic paint on it to distress it up a bit as it was to white,


here are some dimensional shots,


I have assembled it all with pin flier glue,
Well I think that's everything, hope you like it.


I'm off to link it all up,
Back soon Kat x.
