I decided to limit myself to one stamp, the beautiful
butterfly collage stamp from the PaperArtsy Hot Picks 1506, inking it up as a whole
then inking it selectively to create interest and pattern on the
background.
Supplies
Infusions:- Violet Storms, Blackcurrant, Royal Blood.
Black Knight, Lemoncello
Stabilo Black Watersoluble Pencil
Instructions
Apply Black Knight and Violet Storms to panel,
generously misting with water. Heat set
then apply a wash of Gesso. Apply
Grunge Paste through Dinky Stencil.
Stamp butterfly collage. While the ink is drying, diffuse the
butterflies by misting with water. With
fine detail watercolour brush and the white marker pen, add some details to the
butterflies. Mist the whole panel with
water and apply more Infusions, this time working with all the colours.
Take the time to enjoy this step, building up colour,
pushing it back with water/Gesso and allowing the colours to drip into one
another. Can you guess that I like Infusions!
Study the butterfly collage stamp, selecting areas to ink
up and stamp onto the panel. Edge panel with black watersoluble pencil and
Sharpie white paint marker pen. Create
marks on panel with the watersoluble pencil.
Adhere a Relic and Artifact to a butterfly, applying
Infusions to the R&A.
Finally, highlight any areas with the white marker
paint pen or definite with the watersoluble pencil.
Until next time, when who knows, I might be playing
with Infusions once again!
