Castles in the Air by Helen Chilton

11:00

I love these quirky castles by Katzelkraft - they look as if they've come from a fairy tale.


Katzelkraft Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set - Les Chateaux - KTZ172

I'm using a 6x6 panel here and a plastic card to scrape on the paint.


Add some Infusions while still wet...


...and scrape through.


Next came the stencilling - choose a fairly open one...


...and then you get the full effect of the crackles. Some of the Infusion colour will come through.


I've added extra colour with Distress Crayons:


 And then wiped them back:


I've deliberately stamped in a dye based ink...


...so that I could pull out some of the outline colour to create shadows:


Add touches of colour as well:
