Make & Take Fri 13th March

I used a square template to sponge blocks of colour on to the white card then stamp images using the same colour ink, trim image and layer on to card and patterned paper.


Make & Take Fri 7th Mar

Create rectangle in the center of a piece of card using sticky notes, spray this rectangle with water so it is really wet, rub 3 colours of Adirondac inks on a piece of acetate use a paintbrush and pick up first colour and paint a rectangle in the centre of the wet puddle then paint on the next colour around the first colour, because the card is wet the colours will blend in together, repeat with the third colour, now spray with Pearl Glimmer mist and dry using heat gun, as it dries it will look pearly which you cant see in this picture. Remove sticky notes. Stamp and emboss image over the painted square, I used Pearl Ex paint palette to colour the image.

Make & Take Fri 27th February

Using a resist technique by stamping the birds with Versamark and embossing with clear powder, now rub 3 colours of Adirondack ink pads on a waterproof mat spray with Pearl Glimmer Mist then pull the bird image through the inks, trying not to mix up the ink too much. Cover the image with clean scrap paper and iron over it this will melt the embossing and give a clearer image, remove scrap paper straight away or it will get stuck on. Stamp branches at left side and layer image on different colour papers.
