Crystal Encrusted Flourish Chest by Dee

Hi everyone Dee here with a encrusted chest that 

I have made out of various techniques.

I started with putting modelling paste in the middle and 

corners of the box.

Once a skin had formed on the modelling paste I used the 

flourish from the ornate 2 plate to stamp

into the paste.

I used silver sequins from my stash to embed in the modelling
 paste.

Next I covered it all with white gesso followed by 

crackle paint on the lid sides.

Deco arts prussian blue hue was painted on in washes

till happy with the result.

A mix of silver, pewter, white & turquoise embossing powders 

was used to add extra interest.

White embossing powder was sprinkled over to add 

to the contesting colours.

I triple embossed the flourish into melted embossing

 powder.

A close up.

Another showing micro beads that I applied around the 

corner and the base of the box.

Thats all for today thank you for popping by.

Cheers Dee x

Hi everyone I hope you are well and enjoying crafting.

I have been having a play with some new idea's

this is a result.

Firstly I inked up the Neil Walker Stamp with versamark ink and stamped 

it onto black card  & clear embossed it. I used Deco art

 antiquing cream over the embossed image (you can use fresco finish).

 I took a baby wipe and removed most of it, during the 

process it coloured the margins so that they

 look chalked.

Next I mixed Fresco finish paint on a craft mat and swooshed 

it about then placed the fantasy plate stamp into the 

paint and stamped it onto black card.

I then covered in clear embossing powder and heat set.

I had a die cut clock frame that I rusted up and a large die cut cog that 

I also rusted up. I stamped the small clock off the tick tock plate

onto craft card.

I cut out three of the plumes from the fresco finish embossed image 

and them arranged it amongst the cogs and clock.

I cut out other pieces from the image and  offset them against

the main image.

I stamped the butterfly twice once in gold and then in 

pale blue and gold.

Finally I added gold sequins to the top and bottom.

Backed it all onto craft card and distressed the edge's which I coloured 

with ink. I hope you all enjoyed my post and don't forget to

 let me know what you think.

Cheers Dee x
