Today
SCACD
celebrates a newly released exclusive rubber stamp set
Eclectic
Sea (9 rubber stamps all together). The
Eclectic
Sea is a twist of sorts in how something land bound might be seen in the
ocean; for example a Sunflower that is now a Coral Sea Flower and vice a versa.
So check out the collection as these are really unique and elegant. SCACD
Artist Carmen Medlin and Susana collaborated on the images and we are so happy
to be showcasing them to you now.
This collection is now available for purchase in the USA. Please

Eclectic
Sea collection. For our interested international friends, please email
Susana directly.
I was assigned the amazing
Humminghorse rubber stamp to work
with. Ocean themes have never been something that I would gravitate towards,
but I am so glad I was sent this eclectic sea rubber stamp. I have created a
mini mixed-media wall art and had a lot of fun getting out of my comfort zone. Thank you Susana!
Before I start with my process photos I wanted to give you a
list of my supplies used in my Eclectic Humminghorse mini wall art.
Supplies:
6”x6” canvas
Copics
White Prismacolor pencil
Silver gel pen
DecoArt’s Media Matt Medium
DecoArt’s Media Carbon Black
DecoArt’s Media White Simmer Mister
DecoArt’s Media Turquoise Shimmer Mister
DecoArt’s Media Yellow Shimmer Mister
DecoArt’s Champagne Glamour Dust Paint
Black tissue paper
Other: metal gears,
sea shells, shell sequins, mica flakes
The photo above is showing the black tissue paper adhered to
the canvas with matt medium. I did wrinkle the tissue before adhering it to the
canvas. I added a layer of matt medium on top of the tissue paper. After that
was dry I used the kelp forest stencil and modeling past for more dimension.
After that was dry I brushed on another layer of matt medium.
This next photo is the next step for the background. With
the last layer of matt medium I used the patina green antiquing cream over the
entire canvas. Then a baby wipe was used to remove most of the background green
except for the kelp. After that was dry I added more patina green to the kelp
only, let that dry, and added the shine with liquid glass. This added more
dimension.
Now it’s time for all the fun embellishments that I have
picked out. The Oceana Corner die and Steampunk Corner die were cut on brown
cardstock twice. I glued each design together. When they were dry, I changed
the color with the Copper Kettle Metallic Lustre. I added two coats of the
lustre and they were shinning copper.
The above photos are the finished piece. I wanted to mention
that after adding all the dies and embellishments I used the mister acrylic
paints. The finished piece was rather bright, especially all the copper and
yellow, so the patina green antiquing cream came to the rescue.
I hope you enjoyed my journey making this Humminghorse piece
come to life. For you next stop please head to
