Hi guys! Ive decided to join in on the stampotique designers challenge this week. I love my stampotique stamps but have been neglecting them lately. So this was the perfect opportunity to get them out and have a play! This week is hosted by
Corrie Herriman and here was the challenge:
"Hello and Happy
Wednesday! I love using stencils. They add another layer to your
background and lots of interest too. Use them with paint, ink model
paste or even gesso. Show me what you do with stencils and have fun!"
I chose to work in my art journal for this challenge. This is a relatively new concept for me and I'm not used to the layout. Its a lot of space compared to the cards and tags I usually make! So I'm not too sure about how this turned out , but its my art. Its from my soul and it has lovely stampotique images So I decided to jump in the deep end and show it to you guys. Here it is:
There are so many layers I lost count! I just kept on working and working till I was happy with what I had. I used daniel Torrente's
smushallaum and smushasha, all kinds of stencils with normal texture paste, and transparent texture paste. Then I used dylusions sprays, prima bloom sprays, and treasure gold (told you I worked it a lot). I finished off with moody song lyrics from one of my favourite Florence and the Machine songs. I liked how it said "ghouls" in the lyrics, as these mermaids remind me of "ghouls playing".
Hope you like it as much as I had fun making it! I hope to join in on more challenges soon.
here some more close ups:
I like the way the treasure gold makes it shimmer in the light!
Thanks for stopping by! see ya soon.x
Always, -Kass
