Renewal by Lynne Moncrieff

 Hello

For this project, I played with a Dominoes, ATCs and CraftyBoard Circles to bring dimension to the panel, especially the stamped elements.

Instructions

When I prepare backgrounds I spend time creating batches which I then store to have to hand. This is one such sheet of prepared watercolour paper where I applied Walnut Ink (crystals dissolved and decanted into spray bottle) along with Pearl Inks and misting with water, creating wicking effect.

An ATC, Dominoes and circles

which were covered with scrap from the prepared watercolour paper. 

With the design of the stamp sets, there are several stamps which have two sizes available of the same design and I wanted to highlight that with this collage. The larger design stamped directly onto the ATC with the smaller version stamped onto the Craftyboard Dominoes. 

Before layering the stamped panels, wrapping black cotton thread around the main panel. 

From Nature's Gatherings Set 1, stamping the word Renewal and the smaller sized circles.  

The scrappy piece below the stamped word is simply a piece of scrap painted cardstock making marks with Black Pearl Ink.

Thank you for your visit.

Wishes
