Frilly and Funkie Challenge - Layers and a Word

Hi Everyone!  I hope you're having a fantastic week so far.  Today I have my project for the Frilly and Funkie challenge hosted by Sue.  Sue has asked us to create something with lots of layers.  That could be layers of paper, paint, lace, etc., and there's a twist...you must include a word and the word must be the focal point!

I decided on my word before anything else.  These days my life feels like it's moving at 90 miles per hour and not always in the direction that I'd like.  So here's my piece.  I'll keep this short and sweet.

Layer #1-Tissue Wrap was applied to a 6x6 canvas with matte multi-medium

Layer #2 - Distress paint was dribbled on to canvas and misted with water.  Then I tipped and turned the canvas to let the paint drip all over.  (Note: This is waaaaaay too much distress paint for this size canvas.  I removed ALOT of it with paper towels.  Just thought I'd let you know that and save you some paint!) 

Layer #3 - Picket Fence distress paint was applied to the craft mat, misted with water and then I tapped the canvas in it.

Layer #4 - Applied molding paste with a stencil

Layer #5 - Applied metallic rub-on to the stenciled areas

Layer #6 - Applied Brushed Corduroy distress ink over the entire canvas, including the stenciled areas

Layer #7 - And now for my word, grungeboard letters were cut using the Word Play die. They were coated with Picket Fence distress crackle paint, then rubbed with walnut stain and sprayed with Biscotti Perfect Pearls Mist

The result!  I jumbled up the letters in "breathe".  To me that represents what it feels like inside when you need to take a deep breath!

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my project!  I hope you'll take the time to check out all of the beautiful artwork that the other Frilly and Funkie DT members created!  They're uber-talented!  After you do I hope you'll put your own layered project together and play along with us!

I have a little canvas here that started out at something else but didn't turn out as I originally planned.  So I tried to salvage it and I think it turned out pretty well! I'm entering it at Simon Says Stamp and Show where the challenge theme is Something Messy.  And also at the Ranger Ink blog for their February Color Palette Inspiration challenge.

This is a 6x6 gallery wrapped canvas.  The base layer is Idea-ology Tissue Tape applied with Claudine Hellmuth Matte Medium.  Then I added the modeling paste with a stencil.  Once dry I dribbled Victorian Velvet distress paint directly onto the canvas and then misted it with water.  I tipped and turned the canvas so that the color would run over the canvas and down the sides.  The next layer was an application of Antique Linen distress paint.  I squeezed the paint on to my craft sheet, misted it with water and then tapped the canvas into it drying between each layer.  I repeated this same step with Broken China distress paint and then Picket Fence distress paint.

I applied distress ink in Victorian Velvet, Seedless Preserves, Brushed Corduroy and Walnut Stain.  Then added gold metallic rub-on to the modeling paste and then randomly over the canvas.  And finally I spritzed the entire canvas with Perfect Pearls mist in Perfect Pearl.

The letters were cut from Idea-ology grungeboard using Tim's Sizzix Wordplay die.  I used Tim's crackle paint in Picket Fence followed by Walnut Stain distress stain to create the distressed crackle finish.  The leather heart was cut using Tim's Sizzix Movers and Shapers mini Hearts die from a pink leather scrap.

Thanks for stopping by!
