Her Artful Heart by Lynne Moncrieff

This
project came about as a playtime session. All I knew, I wanted to use a scallop shrine frame (leftover from having
used the shadowbox element for a sample) and Character Constructions Inner
Child No. 5. Although this is one of
Catherine Moore’s older stamp collections, this particular stamp plate is new
to me. It seems a very apt stamp for all
of us, with art being in our hearts!
Supplies
Character Constructions Inner Child No. 5 (Art Doll, Paper Doll, Play)
PaperArtsy Fresco Finish: Antactic, Blue Oyster, Seth Apter Limited Edition Set 1
Black
Thread
Baby
Wipes
Teabag Paper/Natural Tissue Paper
Heart
Button
Artist Paper (from Stampington Magazine) – substitute by applying Fresco paints to
PaperArtsy Smoothy Cardstock, blending with baby wipes.
Note –
Butterfly stamp is from Character Constructions Theatre of Dreams No. 17

Instructions
Apply
Gesso to frame and white/greyboard then apply Antarctic and Blue Oyster. Apply Infusions onto this, misting with
water, allowing to drip down panel – a lighter application on the
white/greyboard panel.
Apply
Rust Finishes from FolkArt only in small areas and also Seth Apter’s
paints. With mister bottle and baby
wipe, blend areas of Terracotta (Seth’s paint). I was initially hesitant about this colour but it was the perfect colour
to tie in with the Artist paper. Adhere
frame to panel.
Stamp
Art paper doll, butterflies and paper dolls onto the Artist paper. Fussy cut. Stamp the wings of the Art doll onto tea bag paper. Fussy cut before layering over the main
image, only adhering at base of wings. Add
a butterfly to her head. Thread heart
button with cotton thread before adhering to centre of her heart.
Stamp
ART (from That’s Crafty! Inspirational Quotes) and PLAY onto teabag paper,
forming into little tags, attaching by thread to butterflies. Adhere to panel.
Stamp
sentiment onto tea bag paper. Adhere to
paper dolls, as though they are holding a banner, attaching to top edge of
frame.
Until
next week,
Wishes
Lynne
