*Home* Rusty Mixed Media Altered Plastic packaging from Finnabair

 Hey Crafty Friends I have another Mixed Media project to share!  I used plastic packaging from Finnabair's Vintage Trinkets,  I have a picture at the end of this post you can see!

I painted layers and layers of paint,  not only did I get a rusty effect but the paints created a nice texture!

I started out with a plastic packaging piece from Finnabair Mechanicals Vintage Trinkets and then added chipboard pieces from Scrapaholic Supply,  I also added metal embellishments from Finnabair,  mould pieces and a couple Prima Flowers.  Then I gave it all a good Black Gesso coat.

Next I started painting with Finnabair's Texture Fanasty pastes using Azul Real,  then I added Rust effects paste using Gold Rust and Red Rust.  I thought it wasn't enough so I kept adding the Azul Real then Red Rust.  After many many layers of these paints I finally told myself I needed to stop!  

I used an image from the Vintage Photobooths sticket pack and cut out an image to place on the wings mould.

In between the coats of paints I added grey embossing powder and heat embossed it,  I felt it was a little too much so I painted one more coat of the rust effects paste.

I also added some grey microbeads,  a few mechanical embellishments and an art pebble.  I painted the same colors of rust effects on the back of the art pebble and glued it down,  the color mixed and gives it a nice pop of color!

I think I'm addicted to using rust effects paints now!  LOL!!!   I LOVE lots of texture and it definitely gave alot of texture to my project!

As always I love joining this challenge it is so much FUN!!!

Hope you get a chance to see the inspiration and get busy creating!

Take Your Time Mixed Media Plaque inspired by Art Daily Cafe Cornucopia-August 2020

Hey Crafty Friends,  how is everyone doing?  Hopefully you're getting some crafting time in!  

I was inspired to try Art Daily Cafe Corncucopia August 2020 moodboard!  If you have time check it out!  

I created on a Prima Vintage Wall Decor Base using lots of Finnabair products,  Scrapaholic and Reneabouquets supplies.

For the technique image transfer I grabbed an image from Finnabair's Vintage photobooth sticker sheet.  I had to watch a video on how to transfer the image.  It only took 3 tries!  LOL!
You're supposed to let the image dry overnight,  I was impatient the first 2 times and tried rubbing off the paper.......BAD mistake!!!  Be patient!!!  I really enjoyed the process after I let it dry overnight but you still have to be careful!  

I did some stenciling with White Sand texture paste then I used some Finnabair's Liquid Acrylic paints.  I also used Finnabair's moulds for embellishing.  I also added some Art Stones for added texture!

I used Frank Garcia's Resin Frame and used wax on it and then added some microbeads.  Once the Leafy vines and Cogs and Wings mould pieces were almost dry I painted them with different Liquid Acrylic paints then added Rust Effects paste Gold Rust.  I also painted the chipboard pieces from Scrapaholic with those same paints.  For the Art Pebbles I used an Acrylic paint.

Once everything was in place I added Finnabair metal embellishments,  Prima Flowers,  beads,  sequins,  Glass Glitter and microbeads. 

In the end this turned out way better than I thought,  at the beginning when I was using paints it wasn't looking so good but I kept playing!  

Thank you Art Daily Cafe for having this fun monthly challenge,  it's another place for me to join the fun and also gets me out of my comfort zone to try new and fun ideas!  It also gives me another chance to use my favorite mixed media products from Finanbair!

Thank you for stopping by!
