Well it’s a warm welcome from a freezing cold North East of Scotland today .Back to wearing thick jumpers and wool gloves again. I spent a few hours on Friday night playing with my distress inks to make some rather lovely backgrounds ...ideal for adding some fairies !
So this one was made , starting from the middle and using Tumbled Glass ...a lovely soft,light blue ink.,gradually adding in Cracked Pitachio and Peeled Paint.
It really is just a case of taking your time , a light hand and a little patience to get the blend right . I left the centre light to add to the magical feel. I then stamped the grass , fairy and sentiment with black Archival ink to give me some strong silhouettes
With this one , again I started off with some Mustard Seed, added in some Peeled Paint darkened the edges withSeedless Preserves. A few embellishments and a sentiment finished it off rather nicely .
The final one is made using Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and of course , my new favourite Abandoned Coral . I splattered some water on , waited a few moments then dried off with my heat tool . This is how to achieve lightened areas that almost look as though they have been bleached . The fairies on this car were die cut form teeny tiny little dies that I got from The Range .
Bye for now ,
