Enchantment by Fliss Goodwin

Hi there, I have a mixed media art panel to share this week, which came about as I’m trying to use up some of the bits and pieces I seem to have accumulated. I also seem to be going through a blue phase at the moment so I hope you like this.






Ingredients:


That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencils – Chequerboard Background, Enchanted, Long Hearts Background
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish Acrylics – China, Blush, Bubble Gum, Lavender
Ranger Archival Ink – Watering Can, Jet Black, Cactus Flower
Scrap of Black Card
Violet Gems
Scrap of Ribbon
Waffle Non Slip Mat (from local cheap store)



Recipe:


I coloured the white/grey board by applying dots of the blue and pink paints to the Gelli Plate and spreading the paint with the brayer. I then pressed the waffle pattern mat into the paint to remove some and make an impression. I pressed the panel on to pick up the colour.


I then used the chequerboard stencil with the gesso to add some pattern around the edges. I mixed a little of the deeper pink paint with gesso and used this with the hearts stencil to add more pattern at random. I added more pink to the gesso and added a little more stencilling with the chequer design.







Using the grey ink, I stamped the hydrangea on some paper from my Gelli plate stash, which was made with Lavender paint – I find it really handy to have some plain painted pieces for stamping on. I then stamped some florets on another piece coloured with Picked Raspberry Distress ink. I stamped the butterfly on the same paper.

I next stamped the angel tag on stamping paper using the black ink and stencilled my chosen text on the same paper with the pink ink. I cut everything out and die cut a circle from the waffle mat to add some texture.

I stamped the flower border image in 2 rows just below the centre of the panel with black ink. I then assembled the panel as shown below, using a mix of glue and foam tape for dimension, and finishing off with some gems for added sparkle.

  5. I love this colour combo Fliss it is so 'on trend' - being Pantone's colour for 2016. Yours is slightly darker in value but still works beautifully together. I also love the background stencils as it brings it altogether. Your focal point Lao works so well. A lovely piece. Hugs Debs xx
