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 rhinestone chain and star glitter. They were stuck with Allen's glue and further secured by pouring Golden gloss medium on the top,the medium dries clear givning beautiful gloss sheen. You can make so many embellishment using this technique, I learnt this from Gwen Lafleur whose art work has many such wonderful pieces incorporated.

Finally I was able to draw the beautiful jungle using different shades of green Distress Oxide and posca pens. The parrots were printed and collaged (Image Credit - freepik) The doodle stencils from Craftangles and Mudra were used to create the topmost layer and were colored with posca pens. The red arch of the window was stamped with Mudra stamp and colored along with  yellow background using DistressOxide . The lattice work was done using Gel paste and Craftangles stencil. Distress glazes in Fossilized Amber and Tattered Rose were added when the paste was wet. When the paste was dry it was heat embossed and the background ...
