Bird Girls - Rubber Stamping on Metal -100 Moons Creative Collaborative

****Please use these notes along with the video as I got a little frazzled during filming and might not have addressed the order of business as well as I could have : ) I am Elitia Hart, metal art instructor and mixed media explorer, and this is my first post for the 100 Moons Creative Collaboration blog. I almost always use some form of metal sheet in my projects and am so excited for the opportunity to incorporate Artfoamies, 100 Proof Press Rubber Stamps and Rubbermoon stamps into my work. I made this video to be viewed along with the blog notes on rubbermoonartsblogspot.com #rubbermoon #100proofpress #artfoamies #100moonscollab Supplies : Stamps from 100 Proof Press : SWplate55 Three Birds Plate 55 6496 Bird Legs Stamp from Artfoamies : Gypsy Soul Fragmented Rings Foam Stamp Stencil from Rubbermoon : Kae Pea Doily Stencil ATC Size 2 x Small Square grey Ceramic Tiles 4 inch Liquitex Basics Gesso White Rustoleum Clear Satin Spray Lacquer Stazon Solvent Ink Pad Jet Black Stazon Solvent Ink Pad Black Cherry Tim Holtz Ranger Adirondak Alcohol Ink Red Pepper Tim Holtz Adirondak Alcohol Ink Cloudy Blue Permapaque Dual Black Marker Dreamweaver Stencils Metallic Silver Embossing Paste Plaid Mod Podge Dimensional Magic CS11215 3D Foam Squares (Scrapbook Adhesives) Scorpal Sook Wang Double Sided Adhesive Tape Sheet+ Acrylic Block , scissors Lead free Pewter Sheet 36 gauge or Aluminum 40 g Aluminum Foil Adhesive Tape Craft Foam sheet and hard smooth surface Teflon Tip Embossing tool or pencil Blending Stump/Paper Pen Small piece of Mat board or cardboard ~ Instructions : Please use these notes along with the video as I got a little frazzled during filming and might not have addressed the order of business as well as I could have : ) The Tiles : I painted two grey ceramic tiles with white gesso and stamped the wet paint with the Gypsy Soul Fragmented Rings Foam Stamp . Once the gesso was dry I added droplets of alcohol inks in the design circles and allowed it to "bleed". Once the ink was dry I sealed the tiles with Rustoleum Satin Spray lacquer to create a better bond on the tile*****(this is an important step) I then stamped the corner using Stazon Black Cherry and spiral stamp from the SWplate55 Three Birds Plate 55 I used the Rubbermoon Kae Pea Doily Stencil ATC Size with Dreamweaver Stencils Metallic Silver Embossing Paste to surround the spiral. Once the embossing paste is dry you could apply another coat of satin Rustoleum Lacquer. I cut strips of Aluminum foil adhesive tape and attached it to the edges of the tiles burnishing it well to adhere. I used a texture wheel on the foil to add some engravings and then applied black ink with the Permapaque marker, wiping away the excess ink while wet. The Metal Embossing : I stamped the 3 images on lead free pewter sheet (you can use aluminum 40 gauge too) with Black Stazon Ink. The images were placed on a thin foam craft mat and I went over all the primary design lines using a teflon tip tool. The metal was flipped over and on the back relined just on the inside of the primary line created from the front. I used a paper stump (blending stump) to push out the inside of the design and then placed it face up on the hard surface flattening the background. The concave areas on the back were then filled with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic and left to dry overnight. Once dry, I applied Sook Wang double sided adhesive tape sheet to the back of the metal pieces and used scissors to cut out the girl and egg. The Bird girl was attached to mat board and the edges folded over. All the metal pieces were a sprayed with Rustoleum Clear Satin Lacquer prior to adding the colored alcohol inks. Once the ink was dried I used foam dots to attach the rectangular piece to the tile adding some height. The small girl was attached to the tile by removing the backing tape of the Sook Wang tape and the egg with a foam dot. Spray the completed tiles again. ~ Hope you had fun watching and learning- I certainly enjoyed the process! #rubbermoon #100proofpress #artfoamies #100moonscollab For more on metal embossing see www.pewterart.ca You can find me on Facebook Elitia Hart Metal Art Instagram : metalartchick You Tube Channel : Elitia Hart
