Vintage shadow box !!!
Hello friends,
How are you all? I am enjoying my little summer vacation!!! It's too hot here in India. But still i am enjoying my break. I am back with another Tutorial post for Rainbow Craftykari blog.
This time I created old vintage shadow box from used colour pallet. I just love old vintage look and projects. It was so much fun to create it.
So here is how I made this Shadow box ....
Step 1 : First step is to prime the base.
It is always good to prime the base with gesso, so it holds any further mediums and colours.
I gave it a coat of Black Gesso to entire colour pallet. I applied it as a primer so that it holds the colours perfectly as the material is plastic.
Step 2 : Adding textures. Apply white Crackle texture paste on the pallet randomly as per the image.
For fine crackles effect , let it be air dry for some hours. After that crackles will appear automatically. Then I applied a thin layer of Rust paste + water on pallet that crackles will easily identify.
Step 3 : Roughly placing elements on the pallet.
I picked different things from my treasure , which will go with my vintage shadow box.
After finalizing the stuff, I roughly placed them on colour pallet to decide their places. So it will give me an idea about the final look.
Step 4 : Add colours and textures to the elements.
I selected different types of materials of elements. Some are plastic , metals , fibers etc. So have to colour them first to go with my vintage shadow box. For that I selected Rust pastes from Finnabair and gave a layer of it on all elements.
Step 5 : Gluing and Priming the elements.
One by one I tried to place all the elements in the colour pallet and added some used fabric pieces , threads , beads and mini/mega stones to give more depth to the project.
Step 6 : Time to add coffee splash.
At the end I splashed some coffee stains on the entire project to look more vintage.
Step 7: Final touch up.
For more depth I sprinkled Lindy's magical shakers on some places and added Tim Holtz Sticker as a final step.
And with that my Vintage shadow box is ready !!!
