The Only Way Is Art by Fliss Goodwin

Hi
there, I have a mixed media art panel to share this week that came about
because I painted the panel black as a background for another project but in
the end didn’t use it as it wasn’t quite right for it. It does make a great
under layer though, as you’ll see here.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Clear Stamp Sets – Textures Collection Set 2, Inspirational Quotes Set
2
That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencils – Circles Background, Harlequin Background
That’s Crafty! Multi Surface Paints – Black, Purple, Teal, White, Yellow
Old
Store or Credit Card
Recipe:
As
I mentioned, my panel was painted black. I then used an old store card to swipe
on some Teal paint in a rather haphazard fashion as my main aim was grunge!
Once
the Teal was dry, I repeated the swiping process with the Purple paint. Some
of the paint went over the Teal layer and as you can see, it covered it up
really well.
I
then took the Harlequin stencil and applied a random pattern with Yellow paint.
I followed this up with the Circles stencil to add a pattern with White paint,
again at random.
I
diluted the remaining White paint with a little water and flicked this on the
panel with a paintbrush to add some interest. I stamped on various texture
images with the black ink until I was happy with the balance. Here’s a photo so
that you can see the layers detail.
I
dry embossed my chosen butterfly with an embossing folder from my stash – mine
is a Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations one. I painted the embossed butterfly Yellow,
giving it 2 coats. Once it was dry, I swiped the Distress Oxide ink over the
raised areas and heat embossed them with clear powder. I glued it on with silicone
glue for a little added dimension.
I
stamped my chosen art quote on some scraps of painty paper from a previous
project using black ink. I always save the scraps, as you never know when they
might come in handy. I cut the quote up into word tiles and glued onto the
panel with the glue pen to complete my project.

Fabulous use of the contrasting colour tones to make that butterfly really pop against the amazing background.
