The Two Of Us by Fliss Goodwin

Hi
there, this week I’m sharing the first side of my second Hochanda make which is
the splat upright. Because it’s such a quirky shape, I decided that the rather
quirky and cute Treena fit the bill so I’ve created a rather bright and funky
look.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Clear Stamp Sets – Treena, Serena
That’s Crafty! Dinky Stencils – Bubble Wrap, Bubbles Background
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Paints – Blue Green Light, Yellow Green Light, Green Gold,
Cobalt Teal Hue
Recipe:
Give
the splat and base a coat of gesso on both sides to start with. Next I applied
dots of the green and blue paints to the first side of the splat and spread the
colour with a brayer. I carried on until the whole of the front was covered.
I
used the bubbles stencil with white gesso to add random areas of pattern
diagonally across the painted background. I followed this with the bubble wrap
stencil (my new favourite I think!) and the cobalt paint, applying again in a
random fashion until I was happy with the effect.
I
stamped Treena twice on stamping card, together with two of the heart shaped
balloons from the Serena set, complete with strings and one with just the
balloon. I coloured all of the images with watercolour pencils and cut them out
when dry.
I
glued the images to the painted splat, positioning the two birds one above the
other, adding a heart to the lower one to form a wing. I stuck the balloons on
with foam tape for a little dimension.
I
finished off with my chosen small talk sticker, which I cut into pieces and
added them across the splat.
We
