I have another Zva Creative project to share with you today. It’s an altered frame project that I’ve created for a challenge at Splitcoaststampers.com Each year the SCS Dirty Dozen Design Team and Alumni host a fun week of challenges for the Fan Club Members. Fan Club Members help support the site and this is our way of saying thank you. I was thrilled to be part of the Dirty Dozen in 2006/2007. Creating a sample for one of today’s challenges was a great way to have some stamping fun.Want to learn more about the Fan Club and challenges. You can find the details here.
Wow. A paperless project from me. Pretty rare, huh? Pulling out my Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints and getting messy was a lot of fun. To get this very old layered look, I kept brushing on layers of paint until I got the look I wanted. I worked wet in wet to blend the paints. I wanted to get the look of old furniture that has been painted time and time again and has bits of color coming through.
After I had the look I wanted, I stamped the surface with the Hero Arts Circle Lace Doily stamp. Instead of stamping with ink, I brushed the rubber with Blank Canvas Studio Paint and then stamped randomly on my frame.
I’ve used two pieces of the Zva Creative Clear Swirl Frame CR01CB116 here to embellish the top corner of my project. The silk ribbon rose is handmade and I’ll have a tutorial for you on Friday for it.
Sorry about the poor quality of this shot but it was the one that show the crackled surface best. As a final step to make this project look vintage, I brushed the entire surface with a thick coat of Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint. I love finished surface. The love is spelled out with some more Zva bling…the Alpha Page Crystal Clear Crystals CRB02BC111.
