Clarity Challenge- Its All About The Words


A bit of a last minute project for the Clarity Stamps Words Challenge, and has I haven't used the Word Chains before, it was the perfect opportunity

I applied the DecoArt Texture paste through the following Clarity Stencils
Stripes, Dotty Wave & Double Bubble stencils to a 8'' x 8'' piece of chipboard

Then stamped the words from Clarity Stamps Word chains 3 & 4 onto card then tore the edge and glued onto the Chipboard and applied Gesso around the edges, and the same with the image

I then applied DecoArt one step crackle on the image and words and heavily around the edges and left to dry overnight the crackle effect is amazing

I then applied a wash of Prussian blue , heavier around the edges, followed by a wash of Quinacridone gold, heavier more intense in areas on the texture
I finished with areas of one step crackle around the edge thickly to get larger cracks

    1. It was an image that I digitally distressed, then applied the crackle product to and coloured with a light wash
