This function on the PaperArtsy Weblog is the place 3 bloggers are despatched 3 objects within the submit. Sometimes we’ll obtain a stamp, a stencil and a few Fresco Paints. This yr everybody will obtain an identical merchandise within the submit.
Now we have no clue what PaperArtsy HQ goes to ship, the entire concept of this problem is to do one thing artful in our private model with these 3 objects. We’re allowed to deliver different PA merchandise into the combination if we really feel it’s mandatory.
In the present day I’ve made 6×6 inch playing cards utilizing the objects above plus some archival ink. I get pleasure from working with restricted provides, I discover it saves me being indecisive!
I didn’t have a plan after I began however reached for the pictures that appealed to me and began to experiment.
I used to be drawn to the masks and stencil of the flowers. Having each components allowed me to sponge the flowers by way of the stencil, however then additionally use the masks to stencil the world across the flowers.
I used each Niagara Falls and Gold Rush.
I wasn’t too proud of the results of the Niagara Falls on prime of Gold Rush – however I am glad I stored it – it got here in helpful later!
I grabbed my gel plate subsequent and began making some backgrounds, which I did not find yourself utilizing! I additionally used the chook silhouette stamp on HP1007 to create a mirror picture of the stamped picture. There’s a short video right here of how to do that. It is extremely easy – brayer paint onto the gel plate, place the stamp on the paint, gently press earlier than eradicating and stamping onto scrap paper. Then pull a print off the gel plate.
I now had mirror photos of the chook. Time to place all these components collectively.
First I reduce my stencilled flowers into strips and fussy reduce the birds.
I used Ranger Archival Ink in Watering Can to randomly stamp 2 of the opposite stamps from the set onto Smoothy card. I additionally reduce a circle and body from one of many gel prints – however did not use this one ultimately.
I mixed the flower strips to make a background and used the Niagara Falls / Gold Rush mixed stencilled paper to chop my body and create a border.
I gave the birds a bit of eye punched out of scraps.
after which I put all of it collectively.
There have been a lot of bits left over so I made a second one with a barely totally different composition.
This was enjoyable! I all the time get pleasure from utilizing a gel plate and the mirror imaged birds made me comfortable!
