Happy Saturday everyone, hope its an awesome day where you are.
Today I have a project that showcases the awesome Jane Davenport 'at a glance' stamp.
It's very "eye catching" hehehehehe!
I have had this image from Pinterest for ages and have been hanging onto it for just the right moment.
When I received this awesome set of stamps I just knew this image would work perfectly with it.
So I used it as my main focal stamp down and under where I was going to place my image.
Up until recently purple was a no go colour for me. But after a work friend challenged me to use it, I'm not so phobic about it.
I really wanted to match the colours to the image so after applying Clear Gesso I applied my first colour, I chose Distress Oxide in Antique linen first. But only a little because I really wanted to mimic the image.
Then to add my colour I used a Vicki Boutin watercolour set. I had lots of fun mixing and adding paint colours to achieve the bleeding watercolour effect.
How incredibly amazing are those eyes in the stamp!
Behind my image I layered some torn pieces from a Heidi Swapp paper pad I had. And I also scrunched and placed some torn pieces of the Tim holtz tissue wrap.
For my main embellishments I used 3 of the Finnabair mechanical metal flowers.
I just cant get enough of these metals.
With a couple of torn pieces of fabric tucked up in my layers, I left it. Didn't add anymore embellies and didn't even flick ink!!!
But I'm super happy with the way this page has come up. I love the vibe, sadness and hope this image and the eyes depict.
I hope you too can be inspired by some of the very cool products Kylie has in the shop just like I have been.
I'll be back soon to share a page devoted to this months amazing moodboard.
Till then, Em xx
