The Dusty Attic Blog: Bird Houses - Anat Weksler

Hello gorgeous gang!

Today I would like to show you how I've created Dovecote Cards set using lots of gorgeous Dusty attic's chipboards and fantastic Lindy´s Gang paints.

I hope you will find my techniques and tips interesting, whether you are a beginner or an advanced artist.

So let's start...

Basic Process

I designed and cut 3 Dovecote out of cardboard and primed them with White Heavy Gesso
Next I covered each with a different Tissue Paper using soft gel
When dry I spread Plaster Paste using a stencil and quickly, before drying, I added on top and Heat Embossed one of this 3 Lindy's Embossing Powders: Midnight Copper, Cleopatra's Copper, Bling-y Blonde
Now time to add gorgeous sprays to each card:
1. Buccaneer Bay Blue Moon Shadow Spray
2. California Poppy Gold and Mission Bells Brown Starburst Sprays
3. Jazzy Jivin Purple and Milk Chocolate Brown Starburst Sprays
After drying I rubed a bit of Metalique waxes on the cards
Next I colored Dusty Attic's chipboards, I will be on my cards:
- The Doodads #6, Ornate Corner #4 and Elegant Swirls #9 with Beaver Tail Brown squirt- The Ginkgo Biloba with Loonie Toonie Teal Squirt- The Jewelry Drops #5 and Bulb (Industrial Globes#3) with Ponderosa Pines Olive
- The Barometer with Antique Gold, Glittering Gold- The Broken Bits #1- Numbers with Aged Copper- The Marigod Yellow Orange Starburst Spray was added to the Elegant Swirls #9
