When I picked up my magazine at the weekend, I decided to have a go at the new technique challenge over on the Craft Stamper Magazine blog
http://craftstamper.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/new-take-it-make-it-blog-challenge.html The challenge was to have a go at faux airbrushing and there is an article in the March issue that shows you how to do it. This is my first attempt - I think the technique lends itself to a slightly wider stencil than the one I chose to use but I think the effect still shows just about.....
I used peacock feathers and mowed lawn distress inks through a sweet poppy peacock feather stencil. I added a couple of shades of stickles to the feather centre. The sentiment strip is a banner cut from a strip of water colour paper that I made using more distress inks (peacock feathers and salty ocean) using salt to get the mottled effect. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
Beautiful image, the stencil is gorgeous! Thanks for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, very stylish
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and what a beautiful stencil. I know what you mean about it being narrow though. I used a stencil with a small pattern too and with hindsight think the technique is best for larger areas.
