Dinnertime by Helen Chilton

I've used some Katzelkraft stamps this week on a Chunkie ATC. I love these stamps for their humour - this is from the dog set and I've also used some of the Dinky stencils which fit perfectly.

Here's my Chunkie gessoed and ready to go. I fixed the wires through a hole punched in the top before assembling:

I then added some Walnut Crystals to the wet gesso:

Thought I'd go one step further and mixed some crystals in with the Texture Paste:

It gives a lovely colour to the paws stencil:

Then I stencilled some bones, let it dry....

...and rubbed on some dry crystals for shading:

After that just stamp and colour the dogs, curl the wire and dangle the bones from the ends:
