Hi - Judy here, I enjoyed
making this project using these images: face collage stamp, harlequin diamond background and art is the last. These stamped images are framed with a product I discovered six years ago and I'm amazed each time I use it.
VLVS stamps:
VLVS supplies:
Stamping:
Cut manila card stock 3 ½” x
5.” Use foam applicator to apply broken china and shattered straw inks to
manila card stock, while ink is wet, spray with a little water and heat set to
dry.
Ink harlequin diamond background with broken china ink and stamp over
inked background. Set aside.
Use black ink to stamp art is the last form of magic that exists image on die-cut piece, heat set, and then apply gathered twig distress ink to frame piece.
Stamp Face collage with Archival black on Kromecote glossy card stock, heat set, and then color image with distress
markers. Trim face collage. Set aside.
Tar Gel Frame:
Die cut frame front and back
with chipboard, place frame on scrap paper, apply two coats of juniper dabber
paint on frame, once dry, place frame down on wax paper, and then drizzle clear tar gel over the frame
with a plastic fork or knife.
My suggestion; drizzle off the frame and drizzle back on for best results. The tar
gel goes on milky but dries clear. You need blank areas for the next step. The clear tag gel should be syrupy. If not
add a teaspoon of distilled water at a time to thin and stir with plastic
knife.
When tar gel is dry and
clear you are ready for the next step:
Rub a brown distress ink over frame; this will give the frame a vintage look.
Set aside to dry and then wipe excess off the raised design. You will have a
unique piece to frame your artwork.
Note: I
have used this product on wood frames it turns out beautiful each time.
Finishing frame:
Use Miracle Tape to adhere face collage and
quote on harlequin background. Sandwich frame and back of frame with Miracle Sheet. If you have the easel die add to back of frame to finish.
