Dress My Craft Rice papers and Cadence

Helloo there...

 THURSDAY tutorial after a small break!
Today I am altering an unused journal/diary using the lovely rice papers from Dress My Craft. I have used the Vintage Princes collection, absolutely stunning.



Along with these I have used lots of products from cadence!

The highlight of this project is the use of Cadence Antique gesso as base coat, then creating a resist layer using wax and then giving a coat of chalk paint on top and finally distressing it!
See all of it here in the video!


The final outcome of the journal is this...


Not only that, I have altered few more books to create a vintage stack of books home decor project!
How does this look...

Cadence cream foil bond and DMC metallic foil

Hellooo there!

This Thursday I have a video tute on how to give gilding effects to your projects using the Cream foil bond from Cadence and the foil sheets from Dress My Craft!

This gilding effect gives a lovely rustic finish to your projects.

You can use the foil bond(glue) with stencils or do a free hand pattern with a brush or your fingers, allow to dry, stick the foil sheet and pull it...tadaa...you have a lovely gilded effect left on the surface!
Here is what I did with it today!

A desk top accessory which says "BLOOM" using the gilded effect.



There are more pictures in the video below.
The tutorial is here...enjoy and let me know what you think!

I have lot of pictures too in the video where I have used the foil bond on various projects. Do have a look.

Cadence Very Chalky paints

Hellooo and a happy THURSDAY to you all!
Rupa here and today I have tuorial on decoupage using napkins from Crafters Corner and whole lot of stuff from Cadence too!

Here is what I have upcycled for this project! Yes, its a packaging carton box!

Here is what it looks like after...

Here is the entire family that helped me in this journey! 

 

With a wide range of decoupage napkins from Crafters Corner, it was difficult for me to choose, but then I just decided to go with this one as the colors were nice and bold! 

The TUTORIAL in detail...

 First I covered the entire box with white gesso.

Once the box was dry, I have decoupaged the tissue Magnificent Roses on one corner with Cadence decoupage glue.

The very chalky colors from Cadence are true to their name! It comes in these convenient tubs to dip in the brush and is vert thick and highly pigmented. A very little amount of paint, infact diluted a bit gives a lot of coverage! I have chosen October mist and Purple Lilac for this project.

The jumbo stencil from the home decor series is just a boon for big projects, I dint have to move it at all! The stenciling was done in one go! I have used both the colors to give random gradation to the stenciling.

You can see the light and dark tones, as I have used a stencil brush, it also gives a distressed look!

I then distressed the edges with black and brown acrylic paints to give it a worn and used look...you know I like it that way!

For the base of the box, I chose a complimenting color from Cadence Vintage legendAntique gesso, Bordeaux...This highly pigmented and textured gesso id very thick and gives unbelievable coverage. Can be use on wood too. I loved the look of it when it was applied and it just highlighted the tissue so well!

I applied the same color to the inside of the xox and for the inner lid continued the same stencil pattern, It was mush faster than decoupaging a tissue!

I had a few scrap bamboo rings which I covered with chalk paint and used these for the legs of the box.

For final touches, I added a foam bit as handle and covered that too with the antique gesso and distressed the entire piece with black and brown.

Finally, I did some shadow stenciling on the top and sealed the project with Cadence Plus varnish. This is a glossy finish varnish and for some reason I thought this box deserved that in the second life!

Look at the old card board box all shining and full of color and glam using very little products and just a few steps! Agree... I had something in mind for this box for the future!

 Here is what it is being used for now....

Yes, it stores all my Cadence supplies, well atleast most of the small items that I have. This box will be on my table always so I can grab what I need from this and at the same time flaunt this make!

As part of embellishment, I have added some buttons on the handle and have stamped" Create" on apiece of card stock and given it the look of a piece of burnt chip board and hung it from the handle! 

 The sides are all distressed to give it a vintage, worn out look.This box is sturdy and definitely happy with the turnaround in its second life and am glad it has found a place on my table than ending up in the bin!

Let me know your views on this project. Thank you so much for stopping by.

  I have taken three different shades of very chalky colors wild thyme, french lenin and  palm royal.
• Now once the very chalky color dries up (PS- It dries really quick), apply randomly brush strokes of white vintage legend gesso.
  
• Allow it to dry naturally.
• Now take your favorite set of pattern paper and stickers, here in my case I picked up floral symphony paper collection from dress my craft and matching motif sheet to decorate the base.Please check the images below, here you can see how beautiful they look just by simply adding papers and motifs.

CADENCE VINTAGE GESSO & VERY CHALKY COLOR

Greetings Everyone 

How are you doing today ......

I am back again with Cadence products. Today I will be sharing about Cadence Vintage Legend/ antique gesso and very chalky colors.

In my previous post I have detailed bit about the properties of the product. So here I have a take on them. 

I have painted my mini trinket Chester with the gorgeous cadence vintage legend and chalky colors,

vintage legend cadence

Let me tell you what this Vintage Legend and very chalky color is about - 

1- VERY CHALKY COLORS  { source }
What is very chalky color ?? what does it mean by very chalky ?? all these questions popped up in my head when I first saw the product.
Very chalky colors are Water based silky Matte, chalky finish paint with smooth distressing feature for a Vintage and Shabby Chic look. Covers easily the surfaces. Requires no priming or sanding before using. Adheres to even the slickest surfaces. One-coat coverage with most colors on most surfaces. Quick drying.Customize with waxes or varnishes to finish and protect the paint surface. Cleans up easily with soap and water. Non toxic. Certified by EN 71 & CE.

 2- VINTAGE LEGEND { source }

Vintage Legend is Water based, specially formulated gesso paint with different sizes particles inside and colors to create crushed antique vintage surface. All kinds of Cadence acrylic paints can be used as first coat. For metal and glass surfaces, Cadence Hybrid is recommended as first layer. Apply Vintage Legend over the first coat.  For last layer over Vintage Legend, Very Chalky is recommended. Wait minimum 12 hours before scraping strongly. Cadence Home Decor Wax can be used for protection or colored waxes for depth. Non-toxic. Certified by EN 71 & CE.  

These products can absolutely be used on any surface and that is the beauty of CADENCE.

So I hope you understand the basic nature of the product, Now I will detail out the steps how I have painted the Chester... Let's get started 

vintage legend cadence

• First of all clear the base with dry clean cloth or tissue.
• Now take your choice of very chalky color and paint the surface all over evenly.
• You need to allow the base to completely dry before applying vintage legend. Its is best to naturally air dry the base or if you are impatient just like me use your heat gun.
• Pick your choice of vintage legend shade, for my project I have picked blue, red and white. Now apply randomly blue color and red color and allow it to dry completely 
• Now I have taken white vintage legend and randomly brushed it on top of the blue and red color. 
• Finally I have decorated it with resin and mulberry flowers.   

Viola you are done, isn't that amazing. You can do the same on any base.

I hope I was bale to inspire you all to pick up the awesome cadence product from store.

Happy Crafting 
XOXO
