FANTASY: Vintage Mixed Media Tag + Tutorial by Dutt Preety

Hi friends! Hope you are having a great day :)

Preeti Datta (Dutt Preety) here.

For today's post, I've created a Vintage Mixed Media Tag- "Relic".

I wanted to create a vintage, old wall with moss and rust with a beautiful vintage photo of a lady and floral elements on top of the old wall.

I've used some gorgeous Fantasy Dies & Chipboards on my project.

I've created a Step-by-Step Pictorial of the process :)

Fantasy Dies Used: "Веточка с цветами", "Решетка с кружочками 3", "Кино пленка с самолетом", "Веточка смородинка", "Клевер-букетик", "Веточка летние мотивы", "Пробуждение весны".

Fantasy Chipboards Used: "Надпись Мы, Розы в рамке", "Рамка с розами 607", "Кинопленка с завитком 577".

Step-by-Step Pictorial:

Step 1: Apply Heavy Black Gesso to the large sized MDF tag.

Step 2: Mix Light Paste, White Sand Texture Paste and Heavy Black Gesso to create a DIY Grey & Gritty Texture Paste and apply that through a Bricks Design Stencil.

Step 3: Apply Rust Pastes and dry brush heavy white gesso to create an old and vintage looking wall effect.

This is how the textured wall looks like at this stage- old, grungy and vintage.

Step 4: Apply a few metallic waxes to highlight the textures and add some shine.

Step 5: Apply metallic waxes to some die cuts (cut using Fantasy Dies).

Step 6: Colour some die cuts (cut using Fantasy Dies) with Distress Inks & Distress Oxides. Apply colour unevenly and with touches of brown as we want a vintage, worn out look.

Step 7: Layer all the elements (coloured die cuts, Fantasy chipboard, a vintage photo with frame, gauze & quote chip) and adhere them to the tag using a strong glue or matte gel medium.

Step 8: To create additional interest, shine and texture, add moss powder, art stones, mica flakes and glitter to the tag using soft matte gel. In the end, create white ink splatter.
