Softly, Softly by Helen Chilton

Today I've made a card using some of the new Craft O'Clock products:
When I saw the tracing paper designs, I thought I just had to have a go, so picked this one with the lady on.
I cut round her profile and then used some of the Hazy Street paper with a light area in the middle.
To start with, I coloured straight onto the back...
...and then softened it with a baby wipe:
The colours will show through to the front.
Then just stick it down with a glue stick.
To match up the colours, I added some pen ro rhe paper, rubbing it on a baby wipe again...
...and then rubbing direct to paper to create a soft effect.
You can also colour on top of the tracing paper.
To finish I highlighted with white pen and added a touch of white stencilling.
Supplies:
Craft O'Clock 6x6 Paper Pack - Hazy StreetCraft O'Clock Decorative Tracing Paper Set
That's Crafty! 7ins x 7ins Stencil - Numbers - TC6002
That's Crafty! Multi Surface Paints
Tim Holtz Distress Markers
Posca Pens: White
Embellishments
Don't use anything too wet on the tracing paper as it buckles - this is why I used a 'dry' glue and made sure I covered the back well so there were no air bubbles. Each piece of tracing paper has a different design so there's loads of inspiration! Until next week!
