 Happy Happy Friday Ya'll!

The other day I altered a paint brush with the new Peacock Wax from Finnabair.

That brush was Posted in the FB group ⇛⇛⇛⇛ My Rusty Crown FB Page. Come Join us and share your blogs, your process videos anything craft related! we would love to have you!

I needed something to put my mermaid watercolor brushes in. So in all my mixed media fashion I took this old plant pot and jazzed it up!

I took Black gesso and gave it a good coat inside and out! Heat set it and off to step 2

Now here are some new resin pieces I poured with the NEW Finnabair Moulds 

I used Gel medium to secure them down.  

I let this sit for about 2 hours, I then took my black gesso again and gave it a coat!

 Now I took the NEW Finnabair wax (Indian Pink) using a stippling brush and coated the whole thing.

Now I took the yellow from the rust effect pastes and dry brushed all the resin pieces.

Then Stenciled on some rust paste with a sponge. watered down the yellow rust and splattered some also! That is it! super easy project! Links Below for products!

Okay now that you know just a bit more about them let me show you what I did, and what mediums worked great with them!

So I started my pages of with tissue paper by dina wakley, I added these with a brush and gel medium.

I then kinda just haphazardly brushed the pages with clear gesso. So I pulled out my Tattered Angels Color wash paints, they remind me of a liquid water color really! I just took the caps off lined them up on my desk and started dabbing colors on with a paint brush, you can add these to water brushes as well!. 

Now I spritzed with water and tilted my journal all around! they flowed like a dream! Now the next "Layer" for me journal pages are made in layeres. Stamping MRC has some fantastic background stamps! Ill link them below.

Here I did a before and after picture of the Nuvo Expanding Mousse, I added it through a stencil, then used my heat gun. 

its pretty cool mousse, not really a paste, a bit thicker. it gave great depth after expanding though. kinda subtle. I like it!

So more layeres are added here. I stenciled with the color wash,and added more color to the edges.

 I used acrylic paint for scribbling, added more stamping, and used a micro pen over the color wash. I didnt have any problems with any of the mediums working over the paints!

a bit of black ink for the edges and some splashes.

the last touch is just adding some stamped images to paper and cutting them out and gluing them on! Hope this gives you some inspiration and insight! XOXO
