A Study of Leaves by Lynne Moncrieff
11:00
On
seeing the new That’s Crafty! stamp set, Textures Collection Set 3, my eye was
immediately drawn to the beautiful leaf. I couldn’t resist making the leaf
stamp the focal for this collage, which was a sample made for recent ODS at
HOCHANDA.
Supplies
Extras:- Re-cycled
corrugated paper, brown packing paper, Rice paper (weathered and stained from
outdoors), Coconut Button, Jute Twine, Coffee Granules
Instructions
Apply brown packing paper to white/greyboard
panel. Re-cycled brown packing paper is perfect because it will have some
crinkles to it. When adhering to the panel, I smooth down with hands/brayer to
ensure good adhesion and avoid air bubbles. To this apply light texture paste,
stamping script when the panel is partially dry – washing stamp immediately
after use.
Continue working with the Light Texture Paste, applying to three tags and corrugated cardboard. On the tags, create texture as you apply the
paste. Onto two of the tags, adhere fragments of handmade paper, then add
pieces of brown packing paper. Next, stamp leaf onto each tag. Ensure there is
slight variation to each tag. Layer the trio of tags onto panel of corrugated
cardboard also layering another panel of corrugated cardboard to bottom
edge.
Sprinkle coffee granules onto
the panel before running water, from a tap, onto the panel, dissolving the
granules with your fingers. Let excess coffee run down panel or soak up excess
with kitchen paper towel. Lay panel flat to dry.
Stamp
Affirmation onto a naturally stained fragment of rice paper, adhering to lower
corner of panel and embellishing with coconut button, with script stamped
directly onto it.
Until
next time,
Wishes
Lynne

ReplyDeleteI have to agree Lynne, the leaf stamp is beautiful and can fully understand why you chose to use it as your focal for your collage. It's great to be able to study this up close as it really does show all that scrummy detail upon the corrugated card.
