A bit of an experimental project this one! I had misted the background a long time ago - using a leaf mask and some bright colours in yellows, oranges and lime green tones with a splash of blue. I added my Sweet Poppy Walk in the Park stencil and used a gold embossing paste (from Dreamweaver) sprinkled with a little black and gold glitter (those who came to my demo morning saw me doing this bit!) Once it had dried, I felt it needed a little bit of definition. I added some distress ink using cut n dry - Dusky Concord - a purple shade. The paste was a little tough on my sponge but a small price to pay! I added the definiton to the trees to make them pop and then added a simple border to the left and bottom side using a fineliner and a ruler to draw three parallel lines.
the bird is cut from black card using a Crafty Individuals die and the wording is hand-written onto white card.
It was all mounted onto an 8x8" card blank.
I was most pleased with the results on this one... a technique I will play with a bit more - coloured paste onto coloured backgrounds.
happy crafting
