Inspired by Kay's work I had a play and made up a couple of little cards. Here is one of them.
The background was an experiment with infusions which went a bit wrong so I used Chalk Fresco Finish paint on top of it, I quite like that effect.
I used Distress oxides Faded Jeans and Wilted Violet for the stencilling then stamped the smaller of the two foxgloves from the set in black. I added some of the other flowers in black and cornflower blue archival ink and coloured them with distress oxides. One of the bees is cut out and mounted on a foam pad so he stands off the foxglove.
That was fun, I know I will use the stamps and the stencil a lot.
Thanks to Kay and to PaperArtsy for another great release!
So pretty, my bees have gone, so I have to live vicariously. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely - I really like how you've softened the Infusions with Fresco for a really subtle white-washed look. Delightfully delicate colour palette, and I love the pop of dimension for the hovering bee. Definitely want to get my hands on that stencil!
