I Had a Lovely Time by Donna Gray

Hi
everyone,
Donna
here today using one of the quirky new Rubber Moon stamps that are now in the
shop and a couple of my new star stamps too.
What I did:
Using
the smallest Gelli plate, I pulled a print using Fresco paints, which were
applied with a brayer on a size 8 manila tag. I loved that it gave the illusion
of really old peeled paint….it’s a complete surprise what you get!
Next
I drew some diagonal lines, which I then coloured with a black and red Posca
pen. I stamped the Rubber Moon image with black Archival ink on top of this so
as to ‘ground’ him.
As
he looks like he’s reaching up for something I decided to use a couple of my
new star stamps to give a starry background. They’re Christmas themed stamps in
2 sets and should be on the website soon.
I
then coloured all the stamped images with some of the Jane Davenport pencils
and added a bit of doodling with a black fine liner pen and a white Posca pen.
I
added a Sari ribbon to the tag (thanks teamie Lynne for that idea) and added
some of the wonderful Tim Holtz clippings sentiments.
Ah
yes…a quirky tag…my favourite ;)
Supplies Used:
That’s
Crafty! clear stamps – Christmas sets 1 and 2 (available 18/08/2017!)
Hope
you like it
Donna
