I decided to make a door hangar and this is what I used

and what I did - 

1.       Coat  the wood hangar in gesso

2.       Spread DecoArt Modelling paste through the number stencil with a palette knife

3.       Stamp the Eclectica stamp on the hangar and mask

4.       Apply  a thin layer of the Texture Crackle in odd spots here and there.

5.       Paint with the Cobalt Teal, Cerulean Blue  and Neo Green paints blending as you go

6.       Over stamp in a random fashion with a number stamp using the Pitt Big Brush Stamper Pen in green.

7.       Remove the mask and colour in the stamp with  Pitt Big Brush pens and pick out white highlights with the Sharpie pen

8.       Go over outline with black pen to ensure it pops

9.       Add text stickers

10.   Highlight the stenciled numbers and edges with Treasure Gold
