Hello Everyone and Welcome
Today we launch our new challenge over at A Vintage Journey and I will be your host this time with the challenge theme
Today we launch our new challenge over at A Vintage Journey and I will be your host this time with the challenge theme
'How Can you Resist?
'There are many different products in mixed media that you can use to do a 'resist technique'- gesso, distress micro glaze, wax, embossing powders etc. We would like you to use at least one resist technique on your vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journalling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk project '.
I have created a mixed media canvas in shades of blue for my host challenge
As I will be sharing details of how I made this canvas over at AVJ on Friday !7th August I have just a brief account of the creativity and a few photos to share with you today.
I used a couple of Distress Oxides for the 'shades of blue' and 3 different products for the resist techniques
which were Gesso, an old favourite
Remnant Rubs - another old favourite .
and Tim Holtz distress resist spray (a definite new favourite)
I love the speckles of white the distress resist spray creates!
As you will have noticed I also added some stamping and texture paste stencilling
and of course a few of my much loved paint splatters
The focal feature was the sum of a few parts: a Seth Apter woodchip altered with inks and gesso, a square of ink/ resisted card, a crackle paint die cut and a glossy watercoloured butterfly.
All stacked on top of one another to add layers and dimension.
Both butterfly and woodchip were embellished with Tim Holtz Ideology.
My 'Shades of Blue' mixed media Canvas
I hope I have offered some creative inspiration for our 'How Can you Resist? Challenge .
If you haven't already be sure to stop by A Vintage Journey to see some of my fellow Creative Guides fabulous projects.
We hope you will join us in this challenge as we are looking forward to seeing your 'Resist' projects.
There will be 3 Pinworthy winners chosen at the end of the challenge and each winner will be awarded a pinworthy badge for their blog and have their work pinned to our pinterest board .
