This weeks challenge is to either make a background using a technique that they.... the groovy girls have outlined on the blog or use a background you have made yourself.
My backgroung is made using white acrylic paint mixed with a little washing up liquid and applied with a sponge.... the small picture below show the texture slightly better than this one.... you can make wonderful storm cloud formations with it on black card.... i also dabbed just a tiny amount of silver acrylic in as well just to catch the light... i then used a CHERRY PIE tree to stamp branches around the edge.
The image is a new digi from stamps happen http://www.stamphappens.com/shop/ coloured with copic and promarkers and dabbed with black ink... as normal!
I mated the image/background on to a piece of brown card that i distressed then on to a piece of basic grey paper i inked the edges of, then on to my black card base.
I used a black ribbon, knotted and frayed, mounted on to distressed brown card just to finish this card off.
Isnt she a beautiful vampire?

Hi Lyn
ReplyDeleteThis is so amazing. I love the effect with the acrylic paint mix. I find it disturbingly restful just looking at the artwork given the image is a vampire. If I had any wish granted it would be to be as good as you.
