Good morning and happy Thursday. Today I'm sharing my second piece for the Country View Crafts 'texture' challenge.
I started with some Distress Inks and Ink Dusters as I wanted some subtle stencilling.
I used the Craftascope Flower Flurry stencil to create a border.
I wanted something a bit punchier for my outer layer, so used a black archival inkpad and the Retro Fun stencil.
Then I prepared a piece of hessian as I wanted a bit of a rustic look and feel. I cut it as neatly as I could, stitched around, and then frayed the edges.
With the backgrounds done it was time to make some flowers. I did some very basic finger painting with some Fresco paints and mixed media paper. I learned this in a Tracy Scott class and it's one of my favourite techniques.
I also stamped and die cut some Craftascope leaves out of felt. Note to self - buy more felt!
I also wanted to use some funky foam, so out came the Retro Leaves die set.
So I now had lots of leaves...
And lots of flowers.
And when you put it all together we have a wall hanging for my craft room. It's A3 so it feels a spot.
These colours and textures just make me happy!
The sentiment says it all.
I hope you like it, and that you join in with our challenge over at Country View Crafts.
Have a great week, and thanks very much for looking x
