Hi I’m Gerry from Gerry’s Craft Room and
welcome to my channel
In this video I’m going make a mixed media
card with a FabStencil
and Daily Art pastes and paint to create a
Faux Zinc look
If you are new here don’t forget to click
the subscribe button
first I start with adding fine texture paste
to water colour paper with a stencil
and then I let it dry, it dries real fast I don’t
recommend drying with a heat tool
because then you get bubbles unless you like
bubbles than heat away
then I apply gel medium on the card from left
to right just in spots here and there
not the complete card I add this as a glue
for the pearls I want to use
and now I start adding pearls in 3 different sizes just random
trying to divide the sizes a bit
the gel medium works great as a glue and after
I added all the pearls I let it dry
I added 2 coats of white gesso and let that dry
and now I’m going to add silver metallic
paint
I want to create a bit of a zinc look
I’ve done this before on cards but never
showed it in a video
so I thought this may be fun to show you
because it‘s super easy
I let it dry and then I use the dry brush
technique to apply Daily ART vintage paint
it’s a paint with a chalky finish which will give you
the powder look you get on weathered zinc
just brush it lightly all over the card not
to much you still want to have some of that shine
from the metallic paint
now I want to pearls to pop out a bit more
so I add some inka gold with my finger
this way I have more control then with a sponge
I tape the card to another card I coloured
with the same pink inka gold
and taped that to a double white card
and now I’m going to add the word hello in black
I use my ruler to get the letters straight
and then my card is done
If hope like the video don’t forget to like share and subscribe
and I’ll see you in the next video
thanks for watching
