i tried to do something rather different for me.... i used black card and stamped the lady in white... the stamp is from THIRD COAST.... i then used white paint to completely colour that area so i could stamp on to it with black soot distress ink when dry..... i masked and stamped and embossed with white the ivy leaves fron creative impressions, coloured them with chinese white pencil.... used my water brush on the ladys face to blend and blur the ink to give her a misty appearance.... i used a white inksential gel pen to high light and cover my mistakes.... also to add dots and tendrils.... finally i added a white ribbon with a 'love' charm.... its all done on one layer so i can also enter it at STAMPINSANITY http://stampinsanity.com/blog/ as the challenge there is ONE LAYER.

Hi Lynx, I was starting to get worried, I hope you being busy was for good fun reasons and not for anything nasty. As always, I love all your work, and it looks like you're well on the way to winning the S&S vote, I was over there this morning voting and checking out the competition :D
ReplyDeleteOMG Lyn WOW and you say you lost your mojo???
ReplyDeleteI don't think so!! That lady in white is so... absolutely fantastic. I love the others of course but the TT is so cleverly done.
Hope things are no worse at home and that Nan is improving.

OMG Lyn, I just love all of these. Do you know I'm going to get some black card stock now - a bunch of it. I love how black and white look, so serene and creepy. The first one is gorgeous, so elegant and delightful - what you did with the face is really amazing - wish I could do that. I love the house with the eyes - very spooky; great effect and lovely scene. The last one is great too - love that sassy little image. I really can't see how you lost your mojo...let me borrow it for awhile will ya?
