My project today started as a card
and ended up being a wall hanging!
and ended up being a wall hanging!
I started by laying down a tulip stencil
I stamped clouds in VersMark, as a resist and then
used several colours of Brusho's and sprayed water for the background.
I removed the stencil, masked sun and mopped a little of the Brusho's and water.
I wasn't sure how much would have seeped under the stencil but it was OK.
Using water colours I coloured the tulips and sunshine, as I wanted to keep
with the watery look of the background.
The clouds, birds and tall cowslip flowers where stamped in black archival ink.
I then went over the black ink with a watered down white paint to soften the look.
The text at the bottom has been stamped with green ink.
The butterflies have been die cut from sprayed card stock to give some dimension.
I finished off with stamping the sentiment and heat embossing Frantage
around the edges and randomly on the project.
I love this stuff...Adds interest, texture and usually surprise results.
I had fun creating the wall hanging and learnt lots along the way.
The reason it ended up not being a card was that the piece was around A4 size
and I thought I would use it as a master board and cut it up...I couldn't x
