Hello Friends
My AALL & Crete project for this week uses a beautiful large stamp by
the talented Tracy Evans - Numbered Botanical #110.
I have gone a bit grungy this week and used a 5" x 7" canvas board. I don't have any step by steps because I was crafting late at night and photographing the steps was not really an option!
For the background I used three different colours of Distress Oxides - Squeezed Lemonade, Scattered Straw and my favourite Gathered Twigs. Starting in the middle with the lightest colour I worked towards the edges. Once the inks were applied I stamped the image with Versafine.
I stamped again onto a separate piece of paper, ripped it around the fern and coloured the edges with Distress Oxides. I stamped and cut out a further fern, coloured it with Peeled Paint Distress ink and layered this up onto the canvas.
I cut out and attached the sentiments and tucked some cotton behind the word Fern.
To finish off I used several colours of Distress Paint to create splats all over the canvas and then added the numbers randomly over the canvas.
Thanks so much for your visit, I hope to see you again soon.
Hugs, Anne xx
