I have a bright and fun page to share this week! This is a
selfie captured of myself and a good scrapping friend, with a big heart and an
amazing spirit. As you can see, we do need some selfie practice, though!
When I saw the Jane Davenport stamps arrive in the shop – I thought
‘ooh la la!’
I have used the ‘JD MM Acrylic Stamp 4 Jane Girls’ set on
the background with a permanent black ink like ‘Stazon Ink Jet’ in black.
On some heavy white cardstock sheet primed with Dina Wakley Clear Gesso, I coloured the background. I sprayed it with water – as did not
want the paints to look opaque. Then, using an old gift card, I smeared paint
on. I used Dina Wakley Media Heavy Body Acrylic in both Ocean and Turquoise. I
also used Dylusions Paints – Lemon Zest and Bubblegum Pink.
Before the paints had dried, I grabbed a baby wipe the Crafter’s
Workshop – Mini Cell Theory Stencil, I rubbed it off randomly around the page.
Over the top of the paints I splattered Dylusions Shimmer
Spray, by Dyan Reaveley, randomly around the page in ‘Bubblegum Pink’. I also
used Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains in ‘Picket Fence’ and ‘Broken China’.
Before I adhered my photo down, I stamped the background
with a Carabelle Studio Art Stamp ‘Edges in my journal’ and cut strips of Pink
Fresh Studio paper from the ‘Escape the Ordinary’ Collection in ‘Dare’.
For the cluster, I used paper flowers – these ones were from
Kaisercraft and Maggie Holmes. The flair was from Cocoa Vanilla Studio Flair –
Free Spirit Collection.
And finally, for the title, I used the superb American Craft‘Thickers’!
Thank you for popping
by to have a look.
I hope it leaves you feeling inspired!
Ciao, Amy 😊
