ATC Monday #017 - Weathered Letters

This week's ATC takes it's inspiration from Mixed Up Magazines on going Pick N Mix prompts challenge, week 3 is "Use up old alpha or number die cuts/ stickers".

For this project I used DecoArt chalk paints to create the base layers, rubbing away areas to reveal the layers underneath.

Using Andy Skinner's Typeface stencil, I spread crackle paste through a section with a palette knife.

To weather the project further I used DecoArt Vintage Effect Washes, this was my first experiment using them and they are really great for adding a truly vintage feel.

The whole piece was finished by stamping details in Versafine Ink.
