Rustic Birdcage - Joanne Bain ( Challenge Inspiration )

Hi Everyone!!

Joanne dropping in today sharing my latest creation created for the gorgeous Dusty Attic April Mood Board Challenge. The challenge has an amazing prize of a $100 Dusty Attic Gift Voucher for the winner and to enter you simply need to use the Mood Board for Inspiration, you can interpret it anyway you like. The only requirement is that Dusty Attic chipboard is used in your creation. Once completed simply add your link to the right side bar of the Dusty Attic Blog.

So this is the April Mood Board.

I was inspired by the country rustic feel of this mood board. I drew my main inspiration from the barbed wire and the rust of the wagon wheel.

This is my interpretation of the moodboard...

'Rustic Birdcage'

So my birdcage is full of Dusty chipboard. Through the centre of the cage inside is the smaller Cog Cluster and it has been surrounded by other Dusty cogs of all sizes. To create a feature at the side of the cage I attached and Industrial Scroll...so love these!

The cage has been wrapped with some Dusty Barb Wire and I screwed in some household screws as an added feature. 

Chains, Ribbon and old dress jewelry adorn the cage.

Inside the cage I have hung an old earring to create a swing.

On the cage stand I have added some Dusty Lavender sprigs to the cluster.

Hi everybody!

 

Here is my creation for this months gorgeous, earthy, rusty moodboard from April.

 

I hope you'll join us this month!

 

 

I started with covering my package paper with graphite paste and sprinkled some tiny art stones on it.

When it was dry, I added a thick layer of clear crackle varnish over it, with my palette knife.

A night of drying, and the next morning I had these gorgeous crackles!

 

 

I added my chipboard pieces and art pebbles with 3d gel, and let it dry for some time.

Meanwhile I painted the flowers with black gesso, and let them also dry.

 

When all was dry, I covered the whole project with black gesso.

And when it was dry, the fun started!

 

First came a layer of Lindy's Stamp Gang spray Gossamer Gold.

I dried it with the heattool.

 

 

I started adding color with the Dusty in Colour paints, dabbering them gently on the chipboard pieces and flowers.

 

Next I added soft shimmer with Finnabair waxes.

 

I tried to create some rust effect with a little bit of the rust effect paste from Finnabair too.

 

And last but not least, I stamped my new Tim Holtz butterfly images, and embossed them with Lindy's Stamp Gang Midnight Bronze embossing powder.
