Challenge #8 Show us Some Metal or Glass Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge a Sin City Stamp Design Team Post

So this Sin City Challenge partners up with Craft Hoarders Anonymous again this challenge is to use some Metal/glass - do you hoard gears, pins, brads, eyelets, frame and other metal do-dads?   Well I do... so this one was pretty easy.  In fact I pulled out 4 plastic containers (Only 4)... and the supplies i used only on this canvas...  (Scary how much I have)

I hope you can spend some time with us today to check out all of the awesome projects brought to you by both teams.  You can click on the designer names beneath their project pictures to be taken directly to their blogs for more information.  In addition, there will be prizes awarded, and all the information can be obtained on the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog.  Sin City Stamps is also giving away a fabulous $20 gift card, and the CHAC blog has this beautiful selection of Really Reasonable Ribbon to be awarded to the challenge winner.

 

Took a Canvas and added my Favorite Sin City Stamps to the background.  The photo don't show the stamps showing through on the areas in the background - but you can see the leaves and the chevron.

Here's how it started

Then added the leaves - This one I actually sprayed Lindy's Stamp Gang Sunburst Sprays on the stamp let it set and then put it on the canvas.

I just loved how it came out above...

Then I started to add the metal supplies.

more photos..

And more

Then once it was all set pulled out the Gesso.  I used a thicker one from Jerry's Art Store

I only covered the items so the stamp images came through.

Then I pulled out my favorite colors from Lindy Stamp Gang sprays... and started having fun..

Keep spraying until you get the look.

I pulled out some acrylic liquid ink in spots as well.

Then it got too dark - so I pulled out the gesso again in the center

Then pulled out the sprays again.

LOVE the COLOR....   But the letters blended to much for me so I pulled out the acrylic paints and just lightened it up.

Stunning! Just so wonderful. I love your use of found objects, otherwise knows as junk! And I had an ah ha moment! I keep trying to get the look you achieved with the mists...and what I keep forgetting is my layer of gesso BEFORE I spray! duh!
