Photo Turorial for Pretty Paper Studio

Photo Tutorial

Hi everyone! Ime here to share with you a photo tutorial on how I create textures on my chipboard and metal embellishments. This is part 2 of my posting for this month.

Chipboards

Here is a photo of what it looks like before I alter it..... you'll see me using this chipboard on a later posting Challenge Intro Part 3

1. with a bare chipboard, I started by adding light molding paste to random areas

2. when I'm happy with the result, I heat set it

3. then I paint gesso all over the chipboard

4. while the gesso is still wet I sprinkle some embossing powder on random areas

5. lastly, I heat set again

and this is what it looks like after altering it....

Metal Embellishment

This a photo of the before and after of the metal piece I incorporated in my earlier post Challenge Intro Part 1

1. first I cover the metal piece with patina using a make up sponge

2. I heat set it

3. when it's completely dry, I sand it with a sandpaper

4. after sanding I cover the metal piece with versamark

5. then I sprinkle embossing powder on random areas making sure not the cover the whole metal piece

6. lastly, I heat set it
