Art Techniques Tag “24 Play Days”
By Lisa Winnard for Tando Creative – June 2019
For the “24
Play Days” tag this week, I decided to concentrate on creating a mixed media
piece rather than focusing on just one particular technique.
I have
tried to include as many techniques and different types of products as I could
to make this piece.
List of
products...
Tando
greyboard – tag, compass (small), Mini’s Arrows
Tando -
hearts stencil
DecoArt
Premium Acrylic Paint – Pyrrole Red, Cobalt Teal Hue, Texture Sand Paste,
Crackle Paint
Rice paper
Sketchbook
paper
Chequered
stamp (Carabelle Studio)
Crochet
flowers
Ribbon
Wool string
Gesso -
black and white
PVA glue
Collall
glue
STEP 1
Paint the Tando tag
with a coat of white gesso and dry with a heat tool. Paint a coat of Cobalt
Teal Hue with white gesso to create different shades and lines of colour. Dry.
STEP 2
Apply PVA glue to
the tag. Place rice paper over the top and smooth down with a paintbrush and
PVA glue. Tear or cut the excess.
STEP 3
Paint the Tando
compass with black gesso and dry with heat tool.
STEP 4
Mix DecoArt Cobalt
Teal Hue with DecoArt Crackle Paint and paint the compass. Let it dry
naturally. When dry add some black and white smudges of gesso to distress the
compass.
STEP 5
Take the arrows and
apply DecoArt Texture Sand Paste. When dry, paint with black gesso.
STEP 6
Add DecoArt Premium
Acrylic Pyrrole Red around the edges of the rice paper covered tag.
STEP 7
Stamp the chequered stamp around the outside of the
tag. Stencil some hearts with the red paint.
STEP 8
Fussy cut an image/s
from scrapbook paper.
I chose an Alice in
Wonderland themed sheet of scrapbook paper which I cut several pieces from. The
character, the checkerboard borders, the sentiment/words and the floral tag.
STEP 9
Start to arrange the
scrapbook papers and the other elements on to the tag. Stick them to the tag. I
used Collall glue for the majority of the elements but raised Alice using foam
tape.
STEP 10
Colour some white
crochet/fabric flowers red but not completely. (Initially I chose teal flowers
which matched the blues in the pallet. But then changed my mind after singing “We’re
painting the roses red, we’re painting the rose red”...)
Adhere these
under/around Alice’s feet.
STEP 11
Chose a couple of
different ribbons/yarn/string/wool for the tag hole. I chose some red ribbon
with white hearts (to match the stencilling) and a length of teal blue wool
yarn.
Toodles for now...
