I had a major fail with Kia's lovely CAS challenge, to use something "falling". The only thing I was able to salvage was this green feather! Needless to say with the northern lights background and very busy ballgown, this is NOT going in the CAS challenge LOL.
My new favourite stamp is this beautiful ballerina image by Gabrielle Pollacco. I hope you aren't tired of her yet. Depending on how you colour and the stroke lengths, this stamp is really versatile considering its simplicity.
I started with a piece of cardstock approx 6"x 8", placing the stamp in the middle. I then did long swishes with Distress crayons & Gelatos and blend in a downward direction with my finger then very, very gently use a baby wipe following the exact direction of the crayon swishes.
Copics and Spectrum Noir markers are terrific over the top of caryons, they react very differently over the waxy surface. The dark green swishes at her waist line were done with navy blue alcohol markers. They come out looking a fabulous dark green.
I fussy cut around the body and upper part of gown before positioning her against the sky. Once she looked right I then trimmed the entire panel to 5"x 7".
Thanks so much for looking.
EDIT: The photo here looks like I have used a paint brush to get the feathered effect near the bottom of her skirt, but it is the baby wipe that magically does this.
