Good morning folks, today's project features Rustic Fragments, one of this month's new releases from Chocolate Baroque, they are really useful stamps like all the others in the range. For this project I've combined them with stamps from the Sewing Multibuy.
I began with a canvas board, primed with gesso before applying texture paste roughly with a palette knife. I let the texture paste set for a few minutes so it wasn't too 'squidgy' before stamping into it with the open weave fragment. Then I left it to dry thoroughly before applying acrylic paint in pinks and creams. Once the paint was dry I added some stamping using the other fabric fragment using potting soil archival ink. Next I highlighted the texture with gold gilding wax.
I stamped some of the sewing themed stamps onto cream card using Potting Soil Archival ink and cut them out. I added a little colour to the lacy border with my Graph'It Markers and then set to with glue and foam pads layering them all up.
I added lace, a flower made from scraps of fabric and tulle and then popped in a tag stamped again with the fabric fragments and overstamped with 'Imagine' from Artistic Expressions. I also stamped 'Enjoy the little things ....' onto some tissue and applied that to the corner of my canvas using matte medium.
To finish off I've added some faux pearls and a little button topped with a twine bow.
I'm entering this project in the following challenges:
Frosted Designs Friday Challenge: felt, fabric, burlap, lace
Paper Shelter: anything but a card
Rhedd's Creative Spirit: anything goes mixed media
