Gingersnap Creations Paint Challenge

This month's Spicy Supply Challenge on Gingersnaps is Paint and here's the collage I created for it.

The base is 3/4" plywood and measures 8" x 10". I primed the piece and added two coats of Gesso, then layered on paint, paint glazes and vintage papers. The paint colors I used were Titan Buff, Yellow Oxide, Burnt Umber and Raw Sienna.


In this close up, you can see some of the objects that I included - stamped polymer clay tiles that I created, an old key, domino, pen nibs and rusty nails all layered onto an old book page.


Thanks for visiting!

Gingersnaps Famous Painters Challenge

Our current Chestnut theme challenge on the Gingersnaps blog right now is Famous Painters and here's the card I made for it. The Leonardo image is from Lost Coast Designs and is called Cosmos Face.

The image was stamped on a piece of cream c/stock that I dyed using coffee - yes, coffee! I had some left in the pot one morning, so poured it into a shallow tray and used it to color some sheets of c/stock. You can have tea-dyed things, right, so why not coffee?

In the new TJ technique newsletter (Aug/Sept '10) there's a super easy technique called Worn Wallpaper, where you stamp a crackle stamp with white ink onto a piece of designer paper. This is what I did for the background using a piece of d/p from Basic Grey and I really like how it turned out. Simple is good!

Hope you're having a great weekend!
