Dream

I've been playing with the DecoArt Media paints again, working on canvas boards.  This one again started out with baby wipes and two colors (Cad Orange Hue and Primary Magenta) for the background.  Using one color at a time, I dip the baby wipe in the paint and dab the color over the canvas board.  Then, after the first color is dry, I repeat with the second color.

You can't see from the picture, but there are some drips that were made with Dylusions ink spray.  I sprayed one spot at a time, let the color run down the board, and then dried the ink.  Flower and mushrooms, from the Doolally Doris Dylusions stamp set,  were stamped on mixed media paper, colored with Distress Markers, and cut out.  The stem and leaves of the flower were stamped using Archival ink directly on the board and then painted in with Media paint (Blue Green Light).

The 'waves' were stenciled on using Blue Green Light paint.  When the paint was dry, I sprayed the board a few times lightly with Matte Spray Sealer from DecoArt.  After sealing, I applied a layer of Crackle Glaze and allowed it to dry.  When dry, I took Black Antiquing cream and rubbed it into the cracks.  (You can't see the cracks in the picture, but they are there...)  When the cream was dry, you rub it off with a damp cloth.  Now, because the board is textured, some of the cream made it into the textures of the board and I kind of like the way it dulled down the background colors.  I adhered the mushrooms and the flower to the board with matte medium.  The mushrooms and dots on the board were made with a white PITT pen.  The word 'dream' was applied with modeling paste and a DecoArt stencil. When the word was dry, I added some black dots with a PITT pen.
