Hello my lovely friends,
As promised in my last post, I managed this month to get in and do a couple of challenges. I am nearly scared and nervous to post these up as its been so long since I have participated in a challenge. But here goes, here is the first one....
The day I decided to sit down and do a challenge, I opened up Facebook and decided to do the first challenge that was sitting in my posts. So this time, it happened to be the Prima BAP.
The sketch looked awesome and I turned it so my cluster was at the bottom and went from there. I loved how this one came out.
I have been dying to use the Donna Downey Hollyhock stencil for ages now. I created the background using the 6x6 mask and modelling paste.
Then next it has a few layers and shades of Shimmerz to create the shadow effect. To create this look, and its my favourite way to use Shimmerz, I paint some Shimmerz on and around the image, and with a small spray bottle of water, I start misting away to create pools of colour. I then push these pools around with my paintbrush, until I get the desired effect. I LOVE creating water coloured backgrounds.
Beautiful Prima blooms, trinkets and pearls...
Somehow I still have heaps of the resist canvas pieces from a few releases a go now...still love to use them!
Prima papers used here are Almanac Collection...such soft vintagey papers...swoon!
I love to follow this BLOG... the colour combination in this post was were I got my inspiration from.:)) So if you are driven by colour like I am, and in need of some gorgeous colour combination inspiration...head on over.. I love it!
Thanks so much for visiting
Hugs
