Summer of Colour 5 - Week 5 and the colours are Green + Green + Pink...
So here's my second attempt at mixed media with a plaque using a dark green DP that I roughly covered with acrylic paint and smooched it with a scrunched plastic bag. When that was dry I stamped on some leaves in DI, but that didn't work so on with some more paint. Then I sprayed it all over with Perfect Pearls mist. After that dried I used a stencil to add some roses trailing down from the top as I usually work from the left bottom. When that dried I painted on some Magical Micas to give the roses a pink tinge, a few coats were needed as it soaked into the texture paste. I painted on some leaves and found I had this clear sticker with a nice 'Friends' sentiment...it even stuck on well after years in my cupboard. A few pink gems finished off my project. I am also posting to Stamplorations - new Mixed Media challenge. Sorry for the terrible photo my camera is definitely play up. Thanks for taking a peek
This looks so pretty Robyn and love the softness of the roses.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that is so pretty. I am in awe of people who can use sprays and stamps so well, I am definitely a messy crafter!
ReplyDeleteI love how you did the background with a scrunched up plastic bag! And your finished work of art is beautiful! The light touch of pink of the flowers is absolutely amazing! I love how you used this week's SOC colors.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Robyn. Love the background design.

This is just so soft and delicate looking! The quote is a beautiful!
ReplyDeletelovely and delicate piece, BJ
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quote and a gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteI think this turned out very well - so soft and subtle - well done.
ReplyDeleteI think they are just lovely. Delicate enough for a Sympathy card. Just lost a dear friend and this card reminds me of her.
ReplyDeleteI intended to get here sooner, since you visited me yesterday. I really admire your use of mixed media. I think it looks GREAT. You have made a super piece and I was as surprised as you that the clear sticker hadn't lost any of its stick (I think you know what I mean).
ReplyDeleteBTW, is that your good camera, or has it been returned yet? Doesn't matter, it still takes good photos. I found these colors hard to photograph well.
what a beautiful quote and SOC project!
ReplyDeleteLove that background - must try the plastic bag trick :)
ReplyDeleteso very lovely ~

ReplyDeleteYour roses look so sweet and delicate. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteI really think the clear sticker is made from quality adhesive and is made specially for your plaque Robyn :) I adore those flowers and scrunching the designed paper with plastic bag is brilliant idea to achieve natural background. I just love it! Thank you for entering July Mixed Media challenge at STAMPlorations and I hope to see you again next month. Have a nice day :)
