Hello all and happy October!! Today we have a new challenge starting at
Mixed Media Monthly and as you can see from the title of my post, the theme this month is a beautiful Fall/Halloween Mood Board. Our sponsor this month is Stampotique who are offering a $30 gift voucher to our lucky winner!!
Here first of all is my project for the challenge:
It's an altered canvas, using Stampotique stamps of course... (I had to take a deep breath lol, as these are not my usual style of stamps, - but nothing like a challenge right)?
Here is our beautiful graphic for the challenge, and of course you can read all the details on the
Mixed Media Monthly Blog:
Anyway, on to my project, - I started by creating some texture with the help of texture paste and some stencils and then created a background using some warm autumnal colours of Acrylic paints and sprays.
The patterns were created by dabbing a crunched up bit of kitchen towel over the still wet paint.
Some further stencilling and background stamping, this time with some light coloured paint (Golden Hansa Yellow mixed with Titan Buff).
Stamping what is going to be the focal image on tissue paper and then blending it into the background with further paints applied with fingers.
Adding further interest with the help of a stencil and texture paste.
Stamping the focal stamp again (from Stampotique of course), this time on card, fussy cutting and then colouring with Derwent Inktense pencils and Faber Castell Big Brush pens.
Finally, finishing it all off by colouring the stencilled bit, adding some embellishments, a sentiment (Stampotique) and some shadows around the stamped elements.
Well, that's it, I had to step right out of my comfort zone with this one, but I had fun doing it and I hope you like it.
