The Final Day of the Andy Skinner Blog Hop

Stampendous and Media March 2016 Blog Hop-01
Today is the last day that we play with our friends at DecoArt. Mixed Media Artist and DecoArt International Education Coordinator Andy Skinner has designed some fantastic stamps for Stampendous, and we have shown them off all week long.
Andy joined us with his team of international mixed media artists including Julia Stratford-Wright, Mark Gould, Mel Hookham, and Jools Robertson. There were posts this week on the DecoArt and Stampendous blogs as well. 

Prizes

Each comment on a post this week will enter you to win a fabulous prize package! (one comment per post, per person).  The contest open to everyone!!
We have three packages and each has a Fluid Media Starter Kit, all three of Andy Skinner’s new Stampendous Stamp sets, and a Jumbo Acrylic Handle. Look at this great prize!
Here is my post for the day:
Materials: 
  1. Cling Toxic Rubber Stamp Set
  2. Deco Art Media Fluid Acrylics in Carbon Black, Titanium White, Prussian Blue Hue, Primary Cyan, and Metallic Silver
  3. Deco Art White Modeling Paste
  4. Large Nautilus Stencil DWLM104
  5. Waves Stencil DWLJ838
  6. Dreamweaver Palette Knife
  7. Stencil Brush
  8. Stazon in Midnight Blue
  9. Sizzix Scoreboards XL Dies--Canister
  10. Sizzix Little Sizzles 6 x 13 Mat Board Pack Cream
  11. Removable Tape
  12. Paint Brush
  13. Raffia
  14. Zip Dry
  15. Black Card Stock
  16. Small Gems
Directions:
  1. Cut the mat board with the die to create the canister and assemble.
  2. Paint the canister with the blues, white, and a little black.  Let dry.
  3. Use stamps and Stazon ink to create texture in the background.
  4. Use the Waves Stencil, white paint and the stencil brush to create waves in random places around the box.
  5. Tape down the Nautilus Stencil with removable tape.  Use the palette knife to spread the Modeling Paste over the stencil.  Remove it and let the paste dry. Don't worry about the image being perfect.  The imperfect paste makes the project look more interesting and ancient.
  6. Repeat step 4 in various places around the canister.
  7. Paint over the tops of the modeling paste and let dry.
