 | | Jan aka Precious Kitty has given us a fun Teapot tickle challenge. I am very late to the Teaparty, I sure hope the farmers still need more Ladybugs.
I donÂ’t have any ladybug stampsÂ….but I do have crazy birdsÂ….now I have crazy ladybugs! In my head I had planned trees and a garden, but after seeing how overwhelming it all looked against the background, I scrapped that idea.
Most of my tree and foliage stamps have been stamped onto acetate (and stored with the stamp). Usually I lay the acetate image over the top of the background to see where they should be stampedÂ…or in this instance, not used at all.
The crazy ladybugs are coloured with Spectrun Noir alcohol markers. Our fellow Teapotter, Mary Octoberbabe, put me onto SN markers when she read that Copics were fast tracking my nervous breakdown.
The background was made using the “Cling Wrap” technique found in the SCS Tutorial section, with a few changes to the ingredients. I used Brusho powder as the colour medium and Ironing Spray Starch instead of water.
Ironing spray (just an el cheapo version of Fabulon) is lovely sprayed on Distress Inks, Dylusions Ink Spray and BrushoÂ’s, instead of water. The mist is super fine and not as wet as water.
I coloured 4 Crazy Ladybugs and couldnÂ’t decide which ones to use, as I had made an A4 sheet of the cling wrap background, I decided to make two cards.
Thank you for looking, it sure is great to be back in Teapotterville.
