I love the freshness of her Darcy stamping, the understated colours and her crackle contrast,
I decided to have a go. I stamped onto a journal page with black archival and just arranged the stamps on the page.
Next I washed over with PA fresco, Hey Pesto, Mermaid, Limelight and Chartreuse randomly.
I used the same paints to fill in the images and a tiny touch of white pen.
As I didn't have a frame I made some crackly washi tape using masking tape and crackle glaze. i cut it down the centre to make the frames in proportion to the stamped images. I like the contrast between the crisp images and the rustic washi tape.
Thanks Claire for the inspiration and very well done!
This is absolutely lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super idea to translate the 3D box into a 2D page for the same effect! Darcy's bird on the fence never fails to raise a smile... I guess I will have to buy him some time soon!
ReplyDeleteLovely understated colours and fantastic images Hazel, such a pretty page:-) xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Hazel, I'm so happy you enjoyed my PA project! I love how you've translated it into a journal page, the colours you've used look great together and little Neville on the fence with his white highlighting looks perfect! Claire xx

Delicious fresh springtime greens, and the washi makes a great framing device.
