Paint your crown with vintage distress medium

Leave your crown to dry, you can speed the process by using a heat gun

Before and after

You can choose to add colors rubbing the crayon directly over your design too

I used the three different mediums to see the differences between them. As you can see the vintage is ready to go!

Begin your composition, the placement of pieces

Paint your wood and components with black heavy gesso

Carefully apply 3D gloss gel and drop several micro beads to create the illusion of a glass hour clock

I've created 2 separate time frames

I'm exploring the possibility of creating a faux patina

I'm using distress crayons First coat of vintage photo being careful to rub over the raised design

Second color

Third color

Do the same with your metal corners

Using crazy medium paint over your stencil

I used black modeling paste for the raised design

Metal and die cuts grabbed the color I was going for!
