Altering a Tin with Verday Paints...By Carol Fox

This was in it's previous life a M & S mint tin. I Painted it with the Verday Copper Patina paints and solution to give it the lovely patina finish.
I then gave it a coat of Multi medium to seal it before stamping onto it.
I used the Artistic Outpost stamps Paris Exposition and  French Flight, stamping the images directly onto the lid of the tin using Black Stazon ink and masking as necessary.

The current challenge is open until the end  of the month, for the full details and how to upload your link see the post HERE.

Steampunk Box By Carol Fox

This box began its crafting journey as one of these pencil boxes. By adding die cut cogs and Verday paint it has become old and battered looking.

Finishing it off with some rusty chain and a mixture of found and newer objects it now looks completely different.

There is still time to enter this months challenge of Steampunkery, all the details can be seen on the original BLOG post.

Domino Jewellery By Carol Fox

I wanted to try the Verday paint on some dominoes. I then sealed the images under a layer of resin. before I applied the Verday paint around their sides.

I aged some of the charms from the shop with the paint too, once the patina was dry I gave them a polish and this removed some of the patina gave them a lovely finish.
I added a small bale to the back for hanging.

Round Altered Box By Carol Fox

I have altered a smaller sized cheese box using Copper Viva ferro paint through a mask to give some texture to the box lid. It was then painted with Verday paints. The "fly" word is by Stampotique.

As this is round it fits perfectly in with the challenge theme this month. For full details of the challenge have a look at the blog post HERE.

Tea For Two By Moira Sutton

I have used Verday Paints on these two ceramic cups. On the Bluey one I used mainly copper and brass which go blue, and on the rusty one I have used mainly brass and Iron which give this lovely rusty effect.

You can achieve lot of interesting results with these paints by using the different colours on the same piece. If you don't like the colour just add more layers, but wait until the first one is dry or it will not give you the lovely effect you want.

I thought these cups fitted in well with out Olympic Circle theme this month, for full detail is this months challenge and details of how to enter see the challenge blog post HERE.
