Adventure Begins by Donna Gray

Hi everyone, 

Donna here today with a card featuring a set of the new PaperArtsy stamps.

 

What To Do: 

Take a sheet of mixed media paper, cut to the size required and spritz with a Distress Stain (Fossilized Amber), dry thoroughly. 

Next take a leafy Dina Wakley stencil and spritz another Distress Stain through it (Peeled Paint). This stencil is brilliant as it has the option of using both the mask and stencil parts, for this background just use the stencil. 

Now start stamping using black Archival ink for everything except the circles for which use Watering Can Archival ink. 

Colour in the facial part of the stamp using Distress Markers, dilute with a water brush. 

Spritz a little DecoArt Media Mister (red) over the piece, go carefully as you don’t want to cover it! 

Add a little ephemera to the side of the card.…you can get out your sewing machine for this or do faux stitching with a fine liner pen for a similar effect. 

Add a touch of stickles to the ‘neckline’ of the stamp, mount onto black card and then white cardstock. 

These set of stamps are really versatile, the circle stamp will no doubt be used again and again ;)
