Hi there everyone
im so late today sharing my samples
using the brand new stamps from
Sheena Douglass
here is the Hydrangea
and the
it is the first time i have played with the Aqua tints and i have to say they are beautiful to work with
when the stamps arrived i knew straight away
i wanted to do a canvas
the Hydrangea is the perfect size for an 8"x 8" canvas to give impact
i also used the texture paste and Sheena's Stencil of the Eiffel tower
once it was dry i gave it a coat of white Gesso all over
then started adding the colors from the Aqua tint pastels set once i was happy with the color blends
gave that a quick blast with heat gun then stamped in my leaves and flower heads
i then filled in the leaves with the green from the set and left to dry
while that was drying
i used some Crafters companion water color card
with all the colors from the Pastel set
made some backing papers so that i could stamp then decoupage the leaves and flowers
the Pastel set are a little sneaky
they are beautiful in there wet form but dry slightly darker ....crafty or what lol .
anyway after it was all dry i used 3D gel to start decoupaging my flowers
to finish off i added crystal gems to the center of each petal just for that bit of bling
the Aqua tints are water based so will re activate if they get wet
i decided to give it a coat of Pearl Diamond to protect it and seal everything
had so much fun with this canvas and Sheena's new stamps
i will be sharing more sample
so please do drop by soon
hugs linda x
