Summer Meadow Triptych by Fliss Goodwin
00:00
Hello
everyone, it’s Fliss here today to share the first part of my nature themed
triptych which I’ve made double sided so that I can turn it round sometimes to
show the reverse which I’ll be sharing next week. This side is soft and gentle
as I was thinking of a meadow on a balmy summer evening and is just the ticket
for some chilled out thoughts.
Ingredients:
Crafty Individuals Crafty Elements Floral Circles Stamp Set – for the tiny butterflies
Archival Ink – Olive, Plum, Fern Green, Wild Orchid
Recipe:
First
paint all the panels, back and front, with the gesso and allow them to dry.
Next sponge the top half of each panel, back and front, with a mix of blue and
white paint, then dry brush with white and deep pink to give the effect of a
sky turning to dusk. Sponge the lower half of the panels with a mix of yellow
and green paints and dry thoroughly.
Now
for the stamping. I started at the left hand panel working in a sort of sweep
from left to right across the panels. I stamped first with the small grass like
image, using olive and plum ink. I stamped the images higher up on the edges,
lower across the centre to form a gentle dip in shape.
I
carried on stamping with the fern green ink and added in some wild orchid using
another of the wild flower stamps. I then stamped on the dandelion type image
with Versamark ink and heat embossed the images with white embossing powder.
I
stamped the tiny asterisk style images from the PaperArtsy set on the panels
with Versamark ink and heat embossed them with white powder. I think they look
just like dandelion clocks drifting in a gentle breeze.
I
stamped the tiny butterflies on stamping card with the olive ink and coloured
them with watercolour pencils then cut them out. I glued these to the panels as
you see. As a final touch, I added some detail with the bubbles stencil and
some deep pink paint. I then assembled the panels with the jump rings provided
with the triptych set.
Have
a great weekend and see you next week for part 2 of my triptych.
