Patterns Galore by Helen Chilton

11:00


This post is all about building up patterns.


I'm using a PaperArtsy Tracey Scott set and one of the medium rounds which I've coloured with Distress Oxides, either sprays or inkpads:


Then I stamped the square pattern all over in white paint. I tend to spread the paint out and dip the stamp in:


Note how the white paint has taken up some of the ink beneath:


I then sprayed some patches of colour and stamped in various patterns in black:


I cut out various size circles:


This smaller round has been inked as before and then stamped:


I had to add some white highlights just to make it pop!


For the border stamping I just worked by eye, stamping the opposite four sides first then working out how many to stamp in between - the pattern's fairly forgiving.



Supplies:
PaperArtsy Cling Mounted Stamp Set - Eclectica³ - Tracy Scott - ETS37
That's Crafty! Surfaces White/Greyboard Rounds
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink Pads
: Broken China, Wilted Violet
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Sprays: Twisted Citron, Broken China, Wilted Violet
That's Crafty! Multi Surface Paints: White
VersaFine Clair Ink Pads: Nocturne

I love working in the round, it's very satisfying! Hope you've enjoyed this project.
