Mans World

 

Hiya girls - today I am sharing a plaque I've been doing

 

My son cut me some pieces of MDF to use in my art and this is one of those pieces.

 

I started off by covering with Gesso - I always seem to do that it gives it some tooth

 

I then added Golden Acrylic Paint Lemon Yellow, Burnt Orange and a tiny bit of Burnt Ochre - I spread the paint about with an old credit card and left to dry

 

I then added some tissue wrap with Matt Mod Podge - love the way the paint shows through

 

I put some Rusty Hinge Distress Ink here and there - in particular - around the edges

 

I put some modelling paste through a stencil and let that dry then coloured it and added circles around it with charcoal

 

I did all my stamping (Tim Holtz set) with black Adirondack on to card stock, cut and inked

Ticket

Men

Words

 

 double embossed a Grunge Board hinge after I had inked it and then used a threaded button and brads through the holes before attaching to my piece with Glossy Accents

 

The "World" was cut out of script cardstock on my Vagabond and inked

 

I added all my pieces with 3D foam or Glossy accents before adding some speckles using Tim Holtz Speckles mask and a Black Soot Distress Pen

 

I plan to do a few of these boards for around my craft room

 

I am entering this piece in the following challenges
