The Cat On The Hat by Fliss Goodwin
00:00
Hi
there, I hope you managed to catch the shows on Hochanda yesterday with the
lovely Neil demoing some fab new goodies. If you did, you might have spotted my
top hat upright, which as soon as I saw the blank, the cat in the hat popped
into my head and Bentley came out to play. This is the first side.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Clear Stamp Sets – Bentley, Fleur
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics – Cobalt Blue Hue, Primary Cyan, Ultramarine Blue,
Quinacridone Violet
Red
Grosgrain Ribbon
Recipe:
First
coat the hat and the base with a thin layer of gesso. When this is dry, add
drops of the shades of blue paint on one side only and use the brayer to spread
the paint over the hat shape.
When
the paint has dried, use the chevron stencil to apply a pattern to the surface.
I used dark blue paint to add horizontal stripes up the sides and the violet
paint to apply a vertical stripe up the centre.
Stamp
Bentley on white card together with the tiny flower from the Fleur set using
the black ink. Colour the images with pencils and blend the colours around the
edges. Cut them both out.
I
made Bentley’s hat by drawing round the hat shape on a piece of copy paper. I
then scanned the image to my computer and resized it in a photo programme. I
cut the printed image out and drew round it on white card. I went over the
image with a black Sharpie pen and drew on stripes. I then coloured some of the
stripes red. I cut the hat out.
I
added Bentley to the hat upright and gave him the hat over one ear – I think
this makes him look a little rakish. I gave the hat a floral decoration.
I
finished off with a scrap of red grosgrain ribbon to add a touch of elegance.
We
