Star Bright... by Amanda Pink

Hi Everyone 

Welcome to my weekly post as a Guest designer here at That's Crafty!

This week I have been having fun with colour again and I have to say I'm enjoying  experimenting with the 'brights'!!

I've created an A4 piece of art/ journal entry.

I primed a piece of card with gesso and then added colour using acrylic paints applying it with both brush and fingers. Of course I found room to add in some black and white too. I then added lots of stenciling and stamping, some white highlightling, scribble doodling and some mark making.

Here's a small section of the full piece

and another

The scattered stars are embossed with black embossing powder. The open stars are created using Seth Apters 'Robo Star' die

whilst the smaller solid stars

and the circled stars are created using Seth Apters 'Starstruck' die

The main focal image is another of Seth Apters dies - 'Outlaw', die cut several times from cardstock and adhered together to give it depth and dimension. 

It is triple embossed with black embossing powder and topped with a wax heart that I created by melting wax crayons into a heart shape silicon mould originally bought to make chocolate treats. Much healthier to use it for making arty embellishments!!
