Hi Everyone
I can’t believe its over a week since I talked to you all.
Over at Stampotique is GESSO week.
I started by getting a tag and smearing it in white gesso all over, then getting a bowl of warm water ready, so that when I pressed my Stampotique flower cube into it, I then washed the paint off straight away, otherwise it would render my stamps unusable. I then heat dried it with a heat gun. The indentations of the flower stuck out from the tag.
I then sprayed cranberry Ranger inks on the top and patted it off with a piece of kitchen roll. I then went over the flowers with H2O’s in red, highlighting the flowers. I then stamped the flower out onto patterned cardstock with fired brick distress ink and cut them out adding a glaze over the top.
The words I printed off my computer.
I then coloured in ‘China Belle’ with watercolour paints and cut her out.
I am entering this into the following challenges:
Take care….Speak soon….Sue
