Bird on a Branch by Helen Chilton

I hope you enjoyed the Hochanda shows the other week. Here I'm using some of Lynne's new stamps on a tag.

I've started by scraping on some Fresco paint.

Then I used the new tree stencil over the top in black.

I wanted to add some yellow over the top so used a script stamp dipped in Mustard Yellow paint.

The ATC is also stamped in paint, this time the Frescos.

And because the bird is a silhouette image, I've used paint again. The paint gives a really dense black image like the stencilling on the background.

I like using paint to stamp as it keeps its colour, so you can use, say, the yellow over a darker background colour. I'm not going for exact images, rather just impressions.

Hope you enjoyed this project. 

See you next week.
