Be Strong

I am taking part in #52CafeCards
which is a year long creative challenge,
creating art on playing cards
following the prompts provided by Marta Lapkowska.

The next prompt is G for Gears.


I coated the card front in white gesso,
then added a layer of crumpled white tissue,
to create some texture.

I created some gear style elements from card, using circle punches
& added three screw top brads.


I used the following to create texture & colour.

Golden Gesso
Golden Soft Gel (Matte)
Ranger Texture Paste
Ranger Perfect Pearls Aged Patina  (Blue Patina, Green Patina & Heirloom Gold)
Eco Green Crafts Acrylic Paints (Aged Silver & Waterfall)
Distress Ink (walnut stain)
