Vintage Clock with Deb Antonick

This month I wanted to do something cheerful and colourful to help rid myself of the winter blues. Winter will just never end. I decided to go with a Shabby Chic look and one of my very favourite things ... coffee! 

I was thrilled to receive this large vintage clock face to create a project on, so to create the distressed shabby chic look I used DecoArt Chalky Finish paints.

I base coated the entire piece first with the brown (Russet) and let it dry. 

Then I painted over the brown with the lighter green (Refreshing) and let it dry to the touch.

Use a damp cloth to gently rub over the green to expose bits of the brown from underneath.

Then I stencilled the center with a coffee stencil from Studio 12 and the Dark Grey (Relic) Chalky Finish paint.

I then drew on my coffee cup and the heart. (Link to pattern is provided below).

I shaded around my design for a little antiquing with DecoArt Acrylics Asphaltum (dark brown)

I painted the cup with DecoArt Acrylics in soft pinks, and the heart with off white as follows:

Cup:

Basecoat – Cotton Candy

Shade – Boysenberry

Highlight – Pink Chiffon

Deepen Shading - Razzleberry

Heart:

Basecoat – Light Buttermilk

Shade – Fawn

Highlight – Warm White

Deepen shading – Asphaltum

I then stencilled tiny polkadots on the cup with Warm White (White)

I added a chipboard branch and painted the stem with the Asphaltum and the leaves with Foliage Green (green).

I wanted more colour so I added a little butterfly from my ephemera box that coordinated with the colour palette.

I  stencilled the wood Coffee and a cup from the stencil onto the heart.

I finished by adding some steam swirls with my Emboss It pen and some vintage Stampendous Embossing powder.
