Wild Winston

Hello Everybody!

I am so excited to share my latest project with ya'll!  It was totally inspired by the Creative Carte Blanche challenge.  The challenge is to use the 3 W's: Wood, Word, and Wild (an interpretive element).

I have wood panels that you can craft it.  That's what I used for the base of this project.  The wooden oval is about 7 inches tall and 5 inches across.  I put gesso on it to prime it.

I used Wendy Vecchi's crackle texture paste and Tim Holtz's stripes stencil for the middle texture.  The I used a mixture of Golden paints to create the background.

In this picture you can see that crackle and the gold paint.  I started with the brown color and mixed red and brown and added that on top.  Then I used the two different golds.  I love the shimmer!

Here is the finished project:  Wild Winston.  This fella was the Law back in the day.  They named him Wild Winston-but it was an ironic name.  He wasn't very wild.  He broke up gambling rings, sent trouble makers a packin' and recovered many a stolen horses and cows.  He was mild mannered.  And he was a man of God.  Good ol' Wintson was a brave soul--his job was to keep the town safe.  And that's just what he did.  :)

Here is Wild Winston-the bravest in all of that part of the West.  The picture, metal oval circle (sticker), and the frame and Brave are all from Tim Holtz.  The handcuff, cross, and key charms are from Pepperlonely LLC.  The frame is a small cabinet frame from TH.  It's my first time using it with a found relative photo.  The oval sticker fit perfectly.  I used an embossing pen to make the gold embossing around the frame.  That was my first time using the pen-it's awesome.  :)

I would like to submit Wild Winston into these challenges also:
