The rest of the day I've been getting messy with paint, card and other crafty supplies ... I'm still on a mission to develop my mixed media skills. Today I've created another six inch square journal page ...
The background was created on a gelli printing plate with acrylic paints and stencils to this I added some stamping. I also added some modeling paste through a stencil to add more texture and interest. The detailed butterflies were die cut from another gelli print and the solid ones from some designer paper ... I adhered the two together just by the bodies so that the wings were free. I stitched around the page to create a border and hopefully to pull the design together. I stamped the words on a scrap of card.
I used:
Acrylic Paints
Versafine Onyx Black Ink
Deco Arts Modelling Paste
STAMPlorations Flutter Zen 2 Layering Dies
Distress Ink - Chipped Sapphire
Crafters Workshop Stencils
I'm entering the following challenges:
Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #46
STAMPlorations Never Ending Anything Goes Challenge
Artful Evidence Facebook Group
I've popped back this evening to link up this project to Calling all Sistahs challenge - this is not a challenge that I was aware of until the Calling All Sistahs team commented on my Instagram post which featured this project ... they suggested I might like to join the challenge so that is exactly what I'm doing. I'll be adding the challenge to my list of ones that I should support ... Michele from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps organises the challenge to support Breast Cancer Awareness ... do check out the challenge and join in and help promote the awareness campaign.
