Seek Stillness by Lynne Moncrieff

A small panel 7” x 3.5” featuring one of my most favourite stamps. Whenever I ink up this Character Constructions stamp I find it to be such a peaceful image, it is as though it radiates from the image. My Affirmation seemed well suited to what this image means to me.






Supplies


Infusions: Black Knight, Rocky Road
Old Paintbrush
Extras: Re-cycled Mailing Box (corrugated cardboard), Teabag (x1), scraps of lace, feather, wooden peg


Instructions


Tear piece of corrugated cardboard. Apply Gesso to panel. Before Gesso dries, sprinkle Infusions onto panel, misting with water. Leave to dry, as it dries, you can apply more Gesso if required. Repeat this onto piece of cardboard paper or other sturdy found paper.  Once panel is completely dry, apply rust finish to edge on right side. 

Dry out teabag. Take care to open bag at seams. Stamp smaller image onto one panel, stamping Affirmation onto second panel, tearing this panel in half. 






Begin to assemble, layering the prepared cardboard paper with scraps of various lace.  Onto this adhere stamped teabag, lightly applying adhesive to top edge of teabag before.  Once dry, use Tiny Attacher on upper corner. 








Attach stamped Affirmation to panel with Tiny Attacher. Apply a wee amount of adhesive to lower corner, place feather onto this. Finally, distress wooden peg with Gesso, clip onto right side, as though holding feather in place.


Until next time…

Wishes

Lynne
