Glimmer of light #2

Good Morning everyone

Today is the 2nd project i made with Visable image glimmer of light stamp set, its an mdf lightbulb home decor project.  

Size approx 6x9".   After doing the background (see below for full details) I stamped all the moths and sentiment onto white cardstock.  I coloured the moths in with inktense pencils, using the same pencils on all of them. I then coated with mod podge to seal and cut out.  If im doing a home decor project i tend to finish it with a protective layer of varnish to give it some longevity....keep dust at bay😁  I stamped & die cut the quote into an oval, splashed on some splatters using the colours in used on the moths, sealed it and attached to the lightbulb.  I then got arranging the moths to finish. 

And this is the background before adding the moths.  The lightbulb actually comes with a stand but i wanted it to hang up so i just cut the bits off the bottom that slotted into the base.

I  adhered die cut flowers which i die cut years and years ago from cardboard boxes so good to be using them at last!  I then coated it all with black gesso.  I added crackle paste in areas and then got painting it all with shades of yellow/orange/gold acrylic paints, darker areas in the middle.  I dilute black gesso down with water to make a thin paint and slopped it on (yep that technical😁) and left it to settle in around the flowers and the crackles.  Once dry i added a top layer by dry brushing gold and copper shimmer paints which i think you can just about make out in the photo. 

For the bulb screw top i added 3 rows with a viva paper pen which once dry I painted over with black gesso give the impression of the screw ridges, i highlighted with silver acrylic paint.
