The challenge: Gray, yellow, stars.
This was so fun to create! It is for Dyan Reavly's challenge. I had started with a yellow cs, painted with gesso then used black paint over a Dylusions stencil. If I had just stopped with the one row of stripes . . . but I didn't and it was awful. So, I put it aside. Yesterday I watched some videos by Alicia McNamara for Kaisercraft at someone's suggestion. I have always thought Kaisercraft beautiful, but beyond my abilities. The first video was the basics of layering - perfectly laid out with all the prep and reasons in doable steps. This is a must watch! =
My design came from this video on color matching for beginners =
So, I cut the striped panel out that I liked, gathered stencils, stamps, and got started.
Stamping with Dylusions paints is very nice, with great results.
The title is done with the SU Whimsical Alphas using white ep. After cutting out the stamped flowers I colored with silver and yellow pens. The stars were made from a stencil on the back of the yellow cs I messed up. I adhered the star stencil down, and sponged over it with Distress Soot, then cut them out.
