Good morning folks, its inspiration time over at We Love 2 Create with Premium Craft Brands and you still have a week to enter our 'Anything Creative/ mixed media Goes' challenge to be in with a chance of winning some lovely goodies from Premium Craft Brands.
I've made a little canvas. I began by priming with white gesso and then applied a thick layer of gesso through a harlequin stencil before sprinkling on some Turquoise and Magenta PanPastels which I blended into the gesso to give a subtle background. I also brushed over some Fine White Pearl medium while the gesso was wet, it gives a lovely sparkle in real life but I haven't managed to catch it in my photo.
The image is one of my favourite stamps from Indigo Blu. I stamped it with Black memento ink on tissue paper and applied with matte medium once the gesso layer was dry. I added some colour with my PanPastels once the matte gel was dry and then used my Graph'It markers to give some definition
I added some dots of cosmic shimmer glue here and there and sprinkled with glamour dust for some extra shimmer. I've added a filigree corner that I embossed with frantage EP, some lace, a ribbon and bow topped with a little button and some twine.
I'm entering this project in the following challenges:
Addicted to Stamps and more: anything goes
Brown Sugar: ribbon and flowers
Indigo Blu: Pocket full of posies
Moving along with the times: texture
Retro Rubber: vintage lace
Simply Papercraft: anything goes
Stamps and Stencils: 3 of a kind
Thanks for popping by today, have a great day and hope to see you again soon
