'Anything Goes', is the new theme. over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges .All we ask is that stamping must be a main feature on what you make. Please pop over for all the details and see what my design team sisters have been making.
The words under the stamped image read-- Silences make the real conversations between friends. This is a Paperbag Studio Image, stamped onto a piece of art canvas using Archival ink, edged with Vintage photo distress ink. I also stamped the image onto tissue, this was partially layered on to the original ,to give a bit of added texture .
The base layer of this project, you will see it in the next photo was a piece of chocolate covered card, dry embossed through a leaf design folder, before swiping over with Picket fence distress stains.
The next layer started off as a piece of corrugated card. Painted with Linen coloured acrylic paint, then painted with brush- fulls of Old paper distress stain, swipes of Picket fence and some watered down Bundled sage.
A bit random French script stamping
Next came the stenciling, when the grunge medium had dried off,I added the main image and re stenciled the flower to go across the picture. I painted it with water colours and did a bit more swiping over the top with the Bundled sage ink pad.
The leaves and butterflies, I think are Memory Box dies. water coloured then sprayed with Dylusions Gold Mica spray.
The challenge over at Country View Crafts for February is Painty Pleasures, I think that this may fit their theme as well.
Thank you for stopping by, your comments are always appreciated.

Oh wow Yvonne, this looks fantastic! Loved the base layer just by itself already, but with that wonderful stamp and the added embellishments it really looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely Yvonne, from the gorgeous embossed base layer through to the texture in the stencilled flowers, it all comes together so well. The touch of bright colour gives it all a great lift.
