Dare to Dream by Amanda Southern

Hi everyone

This week I have been playing with some of That’s Crafty! own brand stamps and one of their large stencils.

Here’s What I Did:

I started with a gelli print from my stash of prints, this was one that I wasn’t that happy with but these are ok to use when you know you are going to cover up a lot of it. I used one of Seth Apters stencils and stencilled Dylusions Postbox Red paint using a piece of Cut and Dry Foam.

Once the paint was dry I drew around each piece of the stencil using a black Posca pen. I then placed the mask part of the stencil over the background and covered up the gelli print around it using black Archival ink also applied with a piece of cut and dry foam. I then went around the head this time using a white Posca pen.

I then added the stamping by heat embossing in white adding the bird of freedom and the sentiment stamps.

I then mounted onto black card and then added to an 8” x 8” card blank.

What I Used:

Gelli print from my stash made using Gelli Plate, brayer and acrylic paints

Great drama in those layers... there's something about this which reminds me of Toulouse-Lautrec - the colours and the lettering, I think. Fab!
