Oops! by Helen Chilton

This project started off with the giraffe, in fact that was the only thing that remained constant as I kept chopping and changing all the way through!

It started with a panel that I painted with two shades of red:

Then I added some grey block stencilling, decided I didn't like it so rubbed some off creating a sort of distressed look:

Then a bit of crackle was in order:

Still not quite right so I got out some of Lynne's mark making stamps - very useful these:

I added some paint and printed out the text but things weren't 'popping' so...

...I got out the trusty white pen:

There was a blank bit at the top so I stamped more circles:

And there you have it:
