Give Me Wings by Donna Gray

Hi
everyone,
Donna
here today with a cute cat stamp from Carabelle….oh yes, cat stamps are the
best!!
What to do:
To
create the background, take a sheet of Strathmore mixed media paper and spritz
liberally with water. Add a mixture of watercolours to the surface of the paper
with a wet brush then apply a layer of cling film to it, scrunch it up a little
bit. Put to one side and leave for a few hours to dry to achieve the ‘wrinkled’
effect.
Stamp
the butterflies on a scrap of Gelli print paper and fussy cut out. The cat is
stamped onto a piece of the Strathmore paper and coloured in with diluted
Distress Markers then fussy cut out too.
I
suggest stamping the images directly onto the background as well before you
adhere your fussy cut pieces as that way you’ll be able to capture all the
fiddly bits that are far too awkward to cut out!
The
finishing touch is to use a That’s Crafty! stencil with the word imagine,
pounce through a Distress Ink in a pink/red shade so it offers more of a
contrast.
Mount
onto black card and then white cardstock and there you have a cute little cat
imagining he can fly J
Supplies Used:
Hope
you like it
Donna
