Powertex Poppy Tile

Morning everyone, Today I am sharing something I made using a Be Creative Stamp in conjunction with a mixed media Powertex project, ripped Calico, fabric, ribbon, sand n balls along with luster paints.

You will need:
Be Creative Vintage Poppies Stamp
Be Creative Luster Paint or Pebeo Gilding Waxes
Powertex Bronze
Powertex Sand n Balls
Silk Clay
Tacky Glue
Ripped Fabrics
lce
Ribbon
Deco Art Antiquing Cream
8 x 10 Zutter Board or similar

Step 1:Roll out a piece of Silk Clay about 1/4'' thick, slightly larger than the stamp. Place the stamp face down on the clay and roll a couple ore times to get a perfect imprint. Leave to dry.

Step 2: Position onto your board and secure with Tacky Glue, Leave this to dry thoroughly with a book or similar to ensure it dries flat. I suggest overnight.

Step 3: Coat each piece you are adding with Powertex and build up your design. Add your Sand & Balls last and go from largest to smallest, adding the sand last. Leave to dry.

Step 4: Use a stencil Brush or an old hard brush to add bronze luster paint, building up the colour to really bring out the texture of the whole design and stamp.

Step 5: Add Deco Art Antiquing Cream to create more depth and colour. Then add further layers until you are happy with the result. If you are using gilding was instead, you can do the same.

Thank you ever so much for joining me today, I really hope you have enjoyed the tutorial along with the finished project. I do hope you will join me again very soon as I do have a lot more to share with you. For now Take care and Happy Crafting.
