DT CCB Antiques - Tutorial

Welcome!

I saw on my latest fleamarket visit a little, very old drawer. They show many signs of degradation. 

Nevertheless I have liked this, because it was a very suitable size for a new(old) shadow box.

I remembered on the new Architexture collection, especially on this beautiful typewriter and I thought, yes that's the perfect combination.

 How I do this

I repaired  the backside and gave her a new coat of paint.

I used dark brown wax with a little bit black acrylic paint for the outer sides.

 I glued an old bookpage with a decoupage glue.

 cut out your chosen motive 

 tear 4 stripes and distressed the edges with walnut stain

 glue it on the backfront

 I added some spray and splatters for a more time-worn effect

the lettering Antiques is attached only to the outer two ends

now use the pins for fastening cutouts

for another wheathered look

I used a crackle glaze paint together with the two above mentioned Mist sprays

 typewriter is self-adhesive, but I wanted this piece as a 3D element, 

so I have used a small piece cardboard as a spacer 

Then I have added a little wooden chipboard with a rub on transfer

and glued it behind this findings sticker

now it looks like a typed page

now you can added some little embellishments

just as you wish

  Happy weekend!
