Art Adventure - make a sign

I used a new to me technique from the fab book I've just bought by the very talented CLaudine Hellmuth - The books called Collage Discovery Workshop and I used the Peeling Paint technique.

I first covered my board with a coat of gesso - 'cos the board was dark brown.

I then put on my torn page and image and painted the whole lot with a coat of watered yellow acrylic when the paint was almost dry I rubbed some off my image.

Next I put on vaseline over the paper and the image and here and there on the background.

Next came a coat of green acrylic - let that dry and then cleaned all the vaseline, which had worked as a resist, off.

I burnt around my velum words to age them and attached with brads. Finished off by using my cropodile to put eyelets in to hold my hanger.

If you click on the picture you can see that the sign says "Today you can be anything you Imagine"
