 | | I still haven't managed to play along with last week's MIX challenge to use fabric, so I was determined to carve out a little time today to get drippy. I also combined it with Jeanne's Primary Colours F4A challenge.
I started by making an A2 piece with drips, using watercolour crayons on watercolour paper, and water. It was a bit messy round the edges so I trimmed it down a little. And then I still didn't know what to do with it...
After considering various options I decided to take one of ODBD's Chalkboard Johns and use embossing resist; inking it with Versamark let my drippy background show through, and then after I embossed it with clear EP I just sponged over it to add colour to the text.
I tore along the edges and sponged them.
Next layer is IO's Cover-A-Card Damask (or maybe Reverse Damask) inked with red, yellow and blue and stamped on textured card. I added some embossed, sponged and torn vellum in two of the corners, and sponged the edges with blue. I added a red button and some stitching, and then a butterfly cut from vellum. I embossed the solid layer with white EP using the same IO stamp as the base, and then sponged with my inks.
I like it more than I thought I would - and the drips are there if you look hard! Drips and splotches and splashes just aren't me, I find them hard to work with. But I enjoyed the challenge  , therapeutic after a tough week. |
