Postcard

I used TH Oxides in 3 shades of green (Cracked Pistachio, Iced Spruce, and Peeled Paint) to create my back ground using Visible Image strobe stencil.

I used Kate Cranes Stampotique background block using the same colours and Archival Olive, to build more interest to the background .

I then stamped the Stampotique Snuhubala stamp onto card - clear EP. I used Twinkiling H2O's on his scales and hair . skin and lower tail were coloured with Derwent Inktense pencils.  He was them fussy cut and using matte media applied to the decorated postcard. 

Matte media was used to seal the whole project.

Dreaming of Spring

I have not had a long crafty session in ages - so needed to spring into action and play!

I must be yearning for warmer spring days as I delved into my DecoArt paints with no real plan or ideas of where I was going with my chosen substrate but chose spring colours.

As usual the stencils followed the painty layers - I love how many different colours and shades appear when brayering on layers of paint! TH mini stencils - it is the first time my Splatter stencil was used. A selection of ink pads and MME Asparagus stamps to add more layers depth and interest and also to frame the MDF piece.

Amongst the many Christmas crafty gifts I received at Christmas was this large Banksy style girl with balloons from Bee Crafty she is gorgeous. I also wanted to use a favourite Visible Image phrase but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't use the images separately in a layout I liked .

So I decided to combine both stamps to place the saying within the balloons. Lots of stamping to form masks to enable me to create my finished project.  

A repair to the damaged tissue stamped girls leg, more painty layers to blend the tissue edges. White Sakura pen for highlights and thread to hang and I am quite pleased with my altered stamped image. The sun came out so I had to take a photo in the garden!

Phew sorry for such a long post

Thank you for dropping by - have a lovely day / evening  xx
