Feathers by Lynne Moncrieff

Have you seen the recent additions to the Dinky Stencils? I was immediately drawn to the Feathers – so beautiful, as though they are floating in the air. I worked with this stencil and some new products (Artisan Powders and Distress Crayons) on a That’s Crafty! White/Greyboard Postcard.

Supplies

Prima Finnabair Cling Stamp Sets:- Rust and Dust, Don’t Forget To Fly

Oxford Impressions Stamp Set – The Bird’s Nest

Tim Holtz Distress Crayons Set #3

Prima Frank Garcia Memory Hardware Artisian Powder – Chapeliere, Parthenay, Vausseroux

Grunge Paste

Archival Potting Soil Ink Pad

That’s Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard – Postcard - Rounded Corners

Kraft Paper (I used re-cycled packaging paper)

Watercolour Paper

Cosmetic Sponge

Fine Paintbrush

Palette Knife

Mister Bottle

Heat Gun

Extras:- Muslin, vintage button, twine and resin paper (Ice Resin and vintage book text)

Instructions

Apply Grunge Paste followed by scribbling Distress Crayons onto the panel, misting with water and then sprinkling on the Artisian Powders. 

Stencil the feathers with the darker Distress Crayons, blending with a slightly damp paintbrush and cosmetic sponge. 

Before cleaning the paintbrush, I was able to work any colour onto a scrap of watercolour paper. Onto this piece of scrap, stamp the feather and sentiment, fussy cutting and inking edges. Wrap twine around feather also adhering a button.

The feather and sentiment were layered to the panel along with a torn piece of paper which had been stamped with one of the texture stamps from Rust and Dust, previously stained muslin and fragment of resin paper. 

Until next time,

Lynne
