Hi Everyone
I have created a wall hanging this week, again on one of
That’s Crafty! MDF panels.
Here’s what I did:
I
picked a background which had been a piece that I smeared excess paint on, I
think there was even a bit a finger painting on this one. I have stamped the
deer skull directly onto the background using Tim Holtz Stamping Platform. I do
this so I can paint the image and then stamp the detail back in. I have used
this painting technique many times recently as without a Stamping Platform,
previously this would have been nigh impossible. I have painted the skull with
PaperArtsy paints. I have then added detail and a little contrast using
coloured pencils. All the stamped feathers on the skull I painted with white
and then doodled in the black with a black fineliner pen. I then mounted the
piece onto the MDF and trimmed the edges.
The sentiment is from one of the latest sets of words,
selected by Alison Bomber, for PaperArtsy. I have heat embossed it in white
onto black card.
To add a little more detail I wanted to make some feathers
that matched and hang them from the hanging. I used some of That’s Crafty! greyboard small feathers. I painted them with black and heat embossed the white
details on using a couple of different stamps. I then hung them from tiny screw
eyes using fine jewellery wire.
Here’s What I Used:
Paint
background from my stash used Prima Finnabair Impasto Paints
Carabelle
Stamps – Plumes & French Lily Background (for feathers)
Fine Jewellery Wire
There are a series of 3 skulls stamps available and I have
previously used one of them for a similar wall hanging, which you can see HERE. As I also have the 3rd
stamp I think you can expect me to share another to finish the set of 3 off.
Have a fabulous week and see you next Tuesday
Love
Amanda X
