GD A Vintage Journey

Hi everyone!

 I was so pleased and honored to be asked once again to join you all
 as a Guest Creative Guide here at A Vintage Journey.

 This month the challenge theme is "Cracking up"

I decided to make a tag in Altered Art, industrial style, for a friend

 which has just discovered her joy at painting.

I used crackle glaze on the edges for an altered, wheathered look.
 

together with old book pages, a crackle stamp in background 

and suitable chipboards, painted with black and metallic acrylic paints. 

The aged effect mainly based on Walnut Stain Distress ink.

Many thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting!

Kerstin

Anything Goes - Steampunk/Industrial

 

Sea  Fantasies - a mixed media 3D frame,

 where I had some fun to play with a lot of metal embellishments

together with embossing and rust effects with DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics.

 

 

for frame I used some paper leftovers with a embossing folder (Sizzix), glued it on

and painted with black gesso, after drying

 I have made a rusty look with some DecoArt Fluid Acrylics and Texture sand paste

used materials from DecoArt
