Texture.

Good afternoon ..well I say good it is a hectic day here today ...you know the ones with lots of jobs still on the list at 7pm....grrrrrr

So I am here to tick one of them off my list....

And that is to enter this months Take It , Make It Challenge over at the Craft Stamper Blog.

http://craftstamper.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/take-it-make-it-challenge-june.html

The theme is .......Add some Texture..........

Here is what I have created...

I have used a couple of the canvases from Clarity....I began by covering the 8 inch square one with black Gesso.

 

Next I added some colour using the Fresco Paints...

Then I used this wonderful Sprig Stencil again from Clarity and some Grunge Paste.

I left it to dry overnight....

Then I added some colour using Adirondack ink and a stencil brush..

This is what it looked like after some silver gilding wax was added.

I thought the branch looked a bit bare so I stamped these lovely little birds from the Bird Row stamp set..

Added some colour using Spectrum Noir Pencils and cut them out.

Then attached them to the canvas, and then onto a larger canvas.

Some bakers twine and some background stamping....using paint and the end of a pencil, just finished the design.

 

I do hope that you like it...

 

Thank you for looking in....and as always I really appreciate any feed back and comments.

Enjoy your evening...

Hugs.

Jo. xxxx

    Like it? I love it! Have been trying to work out how you did it before I read your blog and I was nearly right, but I thought you'd used gold instead of silver on the sprig. Love how you've created this and how you've positioned the little birds especially the one on the twine. Wishing you every success in Glasgow xx
