Be The Leaf That's Prepared To Fall by Lynne Moncrieff

 Hello

This collage is a simple way of taking one of the paper sheets from the That's Crafty! Eco Dyed Botanicals Paper Pack and bringing "more" to the image with the inclusion of That's Crafty! Pearl Inks and Acrylic Liquid Wax.

Supplies

That's Crafty! 6 x 6 Paper Pack Eco Dyed Botanicals
That's Crafty! Clear Stamp Set The Language of Trees Set 2
That's Crafty! Surfaces MDF 6"x6" panel Pack of 3
That's Crafty! Medium Acrylic Liquid Wax
That's Crafty! Pearl Ink Antique Gold, Bronze, Copper
Tim Holtz Distress Archival Ink Pad Stack Black Soot 

Instructions

After adhering the selected paper to the MDF panel and allowing to dry, areas were misted with water and to those areas, applying the Pearl Inks.  Then, to the whole panel, Liquid Acrylic Wax was applied, allowing the first layer to dry before applying more of the Liquid Acrylic Wax in selected areas to create crackles.

A text stamp from The Language of Trees Set 2, stamped onto scrap paper with Black Soot ink pad, distressing the edges before adhering to the leaf and then edging with black pen.

A black watersoluble pencil was used to define the edges of the collage.

Thank you for your visit.
