This is one of my canvas samples that I was going to finish off at the show (other work in the posts before this one)
I used the ColorBloom sprays for the background and used some water to dilute them once I had sprayed. Hard to believe it is Deep Teal and Glistening Waves that I have used - the water has really worked wonders at making it such a light background. One of Finnabair's stencils (Grungy Grid) with her 3D Opaque Matte Modelling Paste completes the background apart from the strips of Designer paper which I have stuck on following the lines of light emitting from the stamped image. These then have an orange line painted underneath them as does the torn edges of the image and the other little bits and heart. I used Spiced Marmalade with touches of Fired Brick to liven it up on the heart and on the butterflies too. The images are all Finnabair and are all stamped and embossed.
I was going to carry on with this canvas but Tracey thought some people might like a "less is more" canvas and so we left it as it was and it went down to Oyster Towers with the gang on Saturday.
A small canvas I did also had the butterflies on - more or less same colour scheme I am afraid and this time I went over the circles on the butterfly wings with Sepia Glossy Accents to accentuate them a bit. These are double butterflies and they graduate to a deeper shade with more of the darker ink applied. They have wire antennae attached.
Side View:
This stencil is called Ripped Fishnet that I used for this one.
Will leave it there for today and see what else I can come up with. Am so far behind with blogging that I need to play catch up for at least a week. See you later.
