Collage - Bird of Paradise



Gwen Lafleur is an amazing artist, I love her style of work. I am big fan of her art. I have learnt a lot from her projects and with lockdown going on she is hosting many online classes. This gave me perfect opportunity to learn from her. I have enrolled to most of them and  having fun while learning. 

These classes have broadened my horizon and so many new techniques to learn .Since I dont  have many products with me, I have chosen alternative solutions ( on normal day would have ordered stuff immediately). It is challenging and brings immense satisfaction when it turns out great.

The collage is of birds of paradise on brown background which is mounted on black card stock.
The background is made with burnt sienna, raw umber and burnt umber along with Distress paints vintage photo and walnut stain. Various stencils from stencilgirl were used to add interest in white.
The bird was created with  collage papers in shades of orange and green. I also used scrapbook papers. I then used pitt pens to doodle on the bird to add interest and also used Fevicryl 3D  outliners. The entire bird was then outlined with golden paint (Golden deep gold with gloss medium) from fineliner bottle.I punched and cut different flowers and stuck it around to add the bird.

Hope you liked it.

Then loads of stenciling and stamping was done.  The mandala and the pattern were stenciled in white andheat embossed. The smaller pattern was outlined with 3D paint.

A simple card sprayed with Distress and Lindy sprays. Stenciled and stamped in shades of brown and black to maintain same color tone. The lamps were stenciledb outlined with Golden deep gold paint which was piped though the FineLine bottle. Inside details were heat embossed wth distress glaze to give stained glass effect.  

Keep going - Week 5 2021

  Hectic week  so a quick card made with texture paste and heat embossing. The focal image was   stamped with wooden blocks with Delicata Ink . Since ink remains wet I was able to pour embossing powder and heat emboss it.
