I altered most of my chippies with some white gesso then for the frames I used my aqua & alcohol markers in different colours. Normally I love to add a bunch of phrases & words but for this one I used none which was a huge test for me lol...

For the giant gears I altered those with some brown rust paste after I primed them with two layers of white gesso. After that I added two of them on top of each other with some glue and a huge brad to add some demension. The tabs Vanessa made for my I left them in their raw state which look the best on my box.

Hello and good morning lovely 2Crafty friends.
How wonderful of you all to stop by the blog, for today I have 10"decorative panel that I altered, 2Crafty Chipboard has bunch of them and this is my third that I worked with and I have to tell you they are absolute amazing. I made this for my aunt because it's a picture with little phoenix who sadly lost his life in September 2024. They where on a hiking trail and they had a blast here, I wanted to give her a reminder off the good times they had.

First I started with altering the 10" decorative panel with some white gesso and white matte acrylic paint. Then I used some brown matte acrylic paint and three color waxes red, white & brown. The Elousia frame I treated with my alcohol markers in two colors red and then I used some gesso on it and some brown wax.  

The old fence was treated with two colors of brown spray ink and when that was totally dry I added a woodgrain stamp on it. The field mushroom & cattail shrubs are painted with my aqua & alcohol markers and I finished them with a brush stroke of white matte wax.

Most of the chippies are treated with a layer of white gesso & embossing powder to make the embossing powder less shiny I added some matte wax on some of them. The oversized flower stem I cut up and used them separate on this project but also on a ealier project. 

For the corner crackle I used a layer of black gesso too, before I added two layers of dark embossing powder. As most of you now know I love to make some words I use in a two toned color! I did that with the word "october' on this project.
