Juniper Goodness {by Ellie Knol}

Hello buddies, Ellie Knol from PAPER-STAMPS-COLOR right here with you in the present day with you for an additional With 3 Issues publish.

This characteristic on the PaperArtsy Weblog is the place 3 bloggers are despatched 3 gadgets within the publish. We’ve no clue what PaperArtsy HQ goes to ship us, there is perhaps a slight variation however usually 2 of the three issues will probably be an identical.

I used to be comfortable to seek out these provides within the package deal: Two panels of Gray Board, Alison Bomber stamp set 28 (EAB28) and a couple of colors of Infusions Sleight Blue, Violet Storms.

Our most up-to-date weblog matter has been a Designer Concentrate on Alison Bomber, and going again earlier than that was additionally the subject of WHITE, and the overarching present theme is NATURE. If I can tie these hyperlinks into this ‘3 issues’ publish, then that provides one other problem.

I all the time wish to make swatches of the colours earlier than I begin.

Right this moment I’ve made these two panels utilizing the entire above product…… let’s take a better look.

I began off with making use of a white heavy gesso randomly to the panels with a palette knife, and pressed into the feel with stamps, and a lid into the moist gesso. Tip is to softly mist your stamps with water to assist them elevate off the gesso. The feel is sort of random, I let it dry naturally.

When dry, mist the panel with water, add crystals of the infusions to the highest of the panel, mist it with water and let it run down the panel. That is it.

Consider me, much less crystals is healthier! These guys pack some punch and you actually solely want the littlest of a sprinkle, you possibly can all the time add extra if you want.

I attempted to emphasise the varied colours of crystals in every shade of Infusions.

After drying, stamp the foliage in black stamping ink, and warmth emboss with clear embossing powder.

Add additional shade to make the berries pop.

White paint splatters and splatters with the infusions provides curiosity!

… and naturally some background stamping.

So, evaluate the 2, and select which one you want finest.

My favourite is the one with extra white floor…

As you possibly can see: simply play.. see what works finest, and with Infusions: the result may be very distinctive and unpredictable…

Components of the floor that was not coated with gesso, turned out darker, which is sensible because it was extra porous permitting the infusions to seize and sink into uncovered the gray board paper. Additionally the infusions acquire within the textures created by stamping into the moist gesso.

When you expertise such variations, you possibly can lean into exploring the consequences you may favor.

Thanks for becoming a member of me in the present day
