I’ve
not been in cardmaking mode but when I had some of my PaperArtsy Lynne Perrella Collection stamps out
for other projects, I thought I’d make this card.
One
colour of Infusion, Royal Blood was used to colour watercolour paper for the
background panel and stamped focal and element, used with a Dinky Stencil and I
also incorporated mop-up papers. Little pots of magic!
Supplies
Script Stamp - I used a PaperArtsy ESN Stamp
Martha Stewart Metallic Craft Acrylic – Rust and Copper Rose
Extras:- Various mop up papers, copper coloured fabric, rusty tin wire
Dresden
Trim (Prima) – substitute with die cut
Instructions
After
applying Infusions to watercolour paper panel, stamp script. Working on a craft sheet, lightly mist the
Infusion and with a foam brush or cosmetic sponge, pick up a little of the
colour (you can dab off any excess onto kitchen paper towel) then apply to the
Distressed Harlequin stencil. Once dry,
adhere panel to cardbase.
Onto a
piece of watercolour paper, apply Infusions (I also applied a touch of Memory
Hardware Powder as I happened to have a little on my craft sheet at the time –
yes, this is generally how I work!). Stamp LPC image and ink up a wee element from one of the other stamps from
this set. I only partially used the main
focal image instead of working with the full stamp.
I
incorporated dried mop-up papers – kitchen paper towel and some leftover scraps
from other projects. If you don’t have
any, simply apply Infusions and metallic paints to various papers. A mixture of textures is always interesting.
Layer
stamped images and the various mop up papers. I also added a teeny piece of
resin paper and a piece of beautiful copper coloured fabric I was lucky enough
to receive from my friend Dorthe.
A
couple of final touches to embellish the focal image:- apply Rust Paste to a
piece of Dresden Trim (or die-cut) and coil rusty tin wire.
Until
next time
Wishes
Lynne
