Hi
everyone,
Donna
here today with an acrylic stack ATC for you which is a nice introduction size
to the acrylic range.
What to do:
For
the MDF base layer, coat with a layer of Gesso and dry thoroughly. Stamp the
Carabelle turtle using black Archival ink and proceed to colour in using a
mixture of Distress markers for a light watercolour effect.
Next,
select a light blue Gelato crayon for the background around the turtle image,
blend the colour in and then flick some water on it, dry with a kitchen towel.
First
acrylic layer is where you stamp the Katzelkraft bubbles in black or blue
Stazon and then colour the reverse of the stamped image with a blue Promarker.
Highlight the bubbles using a white Posca pen. You can use a Posca pen or paint
too for the bubbles but the Promarker gives a more translucent effect.
For
the second acrylic layer, take the ‘lightning’ stamp from the weather set by
Crafters Companion and stamp directly onto the surface with a green Stazon. I
think this makes a really good seaweed image instead. I did originally stamp it
in red for coral but it looked like veins so that was quickly scrubbed off!!
The
final acrylic layer is where you stamp the word ‘amaze’ from another Crafters
Companion set with black Stazon.
Assemble
with the screw and washers and this really did take no time at all but the
effect is really dramatic…..can you tell how much I love this stuff?!
Supplies used:
Crafters Companion Stamp Sets – Wet and Windy, Words of Wonder Set 2
Hope
you like it
Donna
