It's Texture week this week, and my turn to make a project today. I hope you've enjoyed the rest of the team's posts this week, and if you haven't seen them, please check them out on the blog, we really appreciate your visit. x
I started by taking one of the fab layered Tags by Fiona for Tando, and putting a thin coat of Texture Sand paste on the bottom layer. I wanted this to create texture later.
I glued the tags together, and painted the whole tag in black. Then colours were sponged on to give a galaxy effect, I used Cobalt Blue, Magenta, Cobalt Teal, Dioxazine Purple and White. For both of these processes I used a sponge to give the paint effect more texture.
The whole tag was then splattered, with white, to give the appearance of stars.
For the aperture's, I mixed Triple Thick Glaze, with a little transparent yellow iron oxide, and put a thin layer in each aperture, so that the texture still showed as lumpy through it. I didn't want a flat glazed look.
The little bits of black in the moon and stars are from the sponge painting, I like that they show through and give depth.
I love the glazed effect, and you can add any colour paint in a tiny amount to Triple Thick Glaze for it to take on a whole different look.
Hope you enjoyed this today.
Best Wishes,
Nikki
