Hello Friends
Are you doing well since my last post, two weeks ago, and keeping safe? I hope so. Not much change here, we are still in total lock down but not complaining!
I have been doing lots of day dreaming lately about wonderful holidays in Greece, Spain and France, and so for my Guest Designer project this week for AALL & Create, I used a couple of stamp sets by Bipasha to create a mixed media board, attempting to show the faded grandeur of so many of the buildings we experienced on our holidays there.
The process was pretty straightforward to I condensed the photos showing you a few steps.
I started by colouring my base using Distress Oxides, layering them until I achieved what I thought looked like an old wall. I stamped Bipasha's Shuttered Window #268 and then used her Archway stamp set #264 at the top and bottom to create some 'crumbling' stonework.
I watercoloured the elements and then stamped and coloured a separate window part which I added to create some extra dimension. I also wanted the windows to reflect the sunlight, rather than create a dark interior.
The bottom part of Bipasha's Shuttered Window stamp set has a lovely key which I stamped, fussy cut and added to the bottom of the board. I just adore the little bird.
These are the stamp sets I used and you can find a list of worldwide stockists HERE.
Another look at the finished project.
Thanks so much for your visit, I really appreciate it.
Keep safe and stay well.
Hugs, Anne xxx
