Here with Today's project is a Mixed Media Class that I attended last month with my friend Pam at The Inked Stamper Scrapbook Store. The wonderful Class was taught by the owner Dawn. I loved the idea of trying something new by painting on tin foil.
I decided to try it out again and do it with the colours I like,
I thought i'd try an underwater theme. So here it goes!
==================================================================
Start by cutting up random square sizes of Tinfoil
Pick out your Favorite Embossing folders
Press down and Emboss 1/3 of your Tinfoil
When you have 2/3 of your Tinfoil embossed you are ready.
Get out your Journal, or 12x12 Paper
Grab a paint brush and brush a layer of Gesso across the pages
Next Grab your Mod Podge and paint a layer
on top of the tinfoil covering the entire tinfoil square
Now layer your Tinfoils on the paper
Switching between embossed/plain tinfoil; Overlapping slightly
Gently Brush over all the ends with mod podge to seal each sqaure
Be sure to brush it flat so there are no bubbles in the mod podge.
Let it dry or use a heat tool to dry.
When its dry; double check to make sure you didnt miss sealing any spots.
Next pick out your three paints you wish to blend with
Folk Art* Metallic Acrylic Paint (Walmart under $3.00 each)
I chose Emerald Green, Blue Sapphire and Amethyst
Take a sponge and Sponge three areas with 3 colours and then blend them together
Adding when you need more colours.
Dont worry, you are supposed to make a mess lol
Let it Dry a few hours or Heat tool it dry, Like I did it here.
Stay tuned for Part 2!
