Experimentation - Dark on Light

This journal page was an experimentation and deviation from my usual style of dark background.

The background was done using Craftangle stencil which was repeated multiple times to cover the entire page. Liquitex acrylic and Posco markers were used for stenciling. The end result was gorgeous and vibrant . To attract attention to the focal piece I had to push the background ,so I used a dirty glaze  (which I learnt from Gwen Lafleur) over the entire page. It is matte medium mixed with Van dyke brown and Micaceous iron oxide.
I added some stamping using Archival Distress Inks in Vintage photo, Black soot and Hickory smoke. Also darkened the edges with same inks.

The focal image is my all time favorite. I used Prima molds with paper clay and created the top,bottom and side pieces. The middle part was created using several chipboard pieces from Itsybitsy. They were layered to give dimension.The angel with wings is again created using Prima mold. All pieces were colored with Finnabair waxes and metallique paints to make them gorgeous and shining.
The pieces were made into one cohesive unit by using micro and seed beads from ItsyBitsy in various colors. Hope you all  liked this piece.

Texture - week 7 2021

I love to have textures made with paste and acrylic skins. I wanted to incorporate one such in my project for SimonsaysStamp Monday Challenge -  Texture .  The background was made using Distress oxides and inks. I added more interest using stencils and stamps using archival inks and Distress inks.  The hero of the card is the texure on acrylic skin.  The skin was made by giving two coats of matte medium on silicone mat. Once dry the texture paste was applied using stencil, when dried it was painted with Golden paints and highlighted using Finnabair waxes in Rose Gold and Old Gold. I made them popup more by using white posca pen. The elephant was drawn on Neenah cardstock, colored with Distress oxide in yellow and Posca pens in yellow and orange. It was cut and embellished with sequins, beads, scrap paper and liquid pearls. I hope you liked it.

Resist It - Week 6 2021

  For Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Resist It The background was done with loads of colors using Distress oxides. I wanted the background to be important part of the piece, so I decided to create resist pattern.I used Stencilgirl Gwen Lafleur's stencil with versamark watermark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I ensured that I placed the stencil so the different colors were present in the resist pattern. I then covered the rest of background with shades of brown Distress Oxide (oxide being opaque covered the bright colors). I used Distress inks on top of oxide to get more vibrant shade. The corners were stamped and heat embossed with gold. The focal image consists of filigree chipboard which was embossed with chunky and fine embossing powders  in different shades of gold.  The medallion in the middle is two circular cardstock pieces placed one on top of the other. Outer circle was decorated with seed beads and bugle while inner circle has rhineston...
