Olga Ravenskaya: Moments. The Wedding Pannel with Lindy's and Tutorial/Холст "Moments"

Привет всем, девочки!

Для моего ежемесячного поста в Lindy's я сделала проект, который посвящен, наверное, одному из самых трепетных дней в жизни девушки, женщины - свадьбе и церемонии бракосочетания.

Бывают у вас проекты, которые совсем не планируешь, и которые случаются внезапно? Вот эта моя работа как раз из их числа. Я планировала совсем другое, заранее с вечера приготовила материалы в абсолютно другой цветовой гамме. Но, у меня на столе, совсем для другого проекта, лежали свежераспечатанные свадебные фотографии моей замечательной коллеги, и взгляд упал на это фото... Я уже давно поняла для себя, что больше всего меня вдохновляют фотографии и палитры. Вот и на этот раз - у меня замерло сердце, зацепило, а это первый признак, что нужно всё, заранее приготовленное убрать, и достать мою шикарную коллекцию Линдисов в голубо-серых тонах)

Ниже дублирую мой пост и МК из Lindy's, по фото, мне кажется, все понятно и без текста, но если вдруг возникнут вопросы - рада буду ответить!

Copying my blogpost and step-by-step tutorial from Lindy's blog.

Hi gorgeous Lindy's friends!

It's Olga Ravenskaya here and I'd like to share my new project created on a wooden panel, reflecting one of the most wonderful moments in a life - the wedding day!

I have to say it's exactly the type of project which I didn't plan beforehand - I had printed wedding photos of my best colleague for another piece entirely. But when my eyes fell on this wonderful photo of a bride, and then on my Lindy's collection of greys and blues, I put aside everything I had prepared the day before;)

So I picked the new materials I'd like to use, you can see them on the photo below, and began working...

I'd like to show you today how I created the background for this project.

First, I covered a wooden panel, a frame and all chipboard pieces all with white gesso.

I wanted to imitate a concrete wall, so I mixed a modelling white paste with a quartz sand.

Then I applied this mixture roughly with a wide spatula as shown on the photo below.

I began spraying with a soft color, Silent Night Silver Starburst. I didn't wait for the paste to become dry for two reasons - have no patience to wait :) and love how color mixed with a wet paste absorbing into the porous surface.

Then I added a little Whale Watch Blue Starburst. It's really is one of my favorite sprays - not grey, not blue, so very beautiful and sophisticated color! One love!

After that, I dried a bit of the surface with the embossing dryer and added darker more intense colors - Danny Zuko's Denim Flat Fabio and Midnight Rendezvous Raven Starburst.

I checked with my photo before adding each color, so next step I added Steel Shimmer Glitz Spritz. It has a ravishing dark, pewter shimmer, and matched with the previous intense color layers it makes the surface softer.

Then I took a dry sponge with a very small amount of white gesso and went over all the surface to emphasize the texture on the one side and to create an effect of the 'worn' wall on the other side.

After that, I added Graphite texture paste through stencils.

I didn't like obvious outlines of numbers, shapes or figures, so I wanted to blur them by ading color. I added splashes of Danny Zuko's Denim and Steel Shimmer sprays over wet paste, see the result below - looks worn too!

To finish the background, I stamped a bit with butterfly and crackle effect images.

I covered the chipboard pieces with pale shades of blue and white to achieve a nice contrast to the background.

Have a look at this great effect of pale and dark!

The background is ready now, only one note left - after all the elements were arranged I added splashes with white gesso and TiffanyLou Blue Starburst.

And several photos of the finished project...
