I don’t
know about you but when I get new stash I can’t wait to try it so when my That’s
Crafty! order arrived I knew the toys were coming out to play.
I have
a page in my moleskin Journal, I often use this to mop up left over paint and
media, so I started with a page with a lot of yellow and some patches of red
Dylusions paints.
To pull
these together I used a kitchen sponge to drag orange around the edges and
where there was no colour.
Next
came some stencilling using the Tracy Scott stencil and grey paint.
To add
more depth I used the tiny texture stamps from the Rubber Dance set in the Archival
inks.
Next
more stencilling with the red and orange paints using the Lin Brown stencil.
I
stamped the bird and girl onto mixed media paper in the blue and green paints,
being careful I to wash them straight away.
I heat embossed the small bird on the page and again on mixed media
paper, and cut out just the bird and glued all of them onto the page
I
stamped the phrase onto heavy paper and cut each word out and stuck them down,
running watercolour wax pastel around
the edges and also around my page.
A black
pen gave me the line to join girl and small bird. A blue watercolour pencil
gave me a shadow around the larger bird and the girl.
