Hi there
A quick post today before I start my scrapbooking class.
This is another one of those backgrounds I did some time ago that have been waiting to be finished off.
The background has texture paste through a stencil and twine wrapped around it from the page on the other side. I used my Semco Pearlescent water paints on the background and it has a lovely pearly sheen to it. Next, some random stamping with StayzOn Ink and a couple of different stamps.
I have had these porcelain flowers for about 20 years and decided that I wanted to use them. I had some metal stands, a dragonfly and leaves so attached them with Gel Medium and coloured them with the same water colours.
Next I arranged the flowers and stuck them on with my hot glue gun.
I lightly applied some ink to the flowers just on the edges to give it a bit of dimension then I brushed some Glimmermist in corresponding colours over all the flowers. I also brushed some Gold Artiste Spritzing Ink on the stands to give them a metallic look.
I used my Faber-Castelle Big Brush Markers to shade around the stands and flowers so they look more connected with the page. The leaves and dragonfly also got a bit of shading with the markers.
I wanted to give the page a slight border without being too definite so I applies some dark pink ink around the edges then a small amount of black.
The title was printed on tissue paper and attached using Matt Gel Medium.
Hope you like my page and maybe leave me a comment
Till next time
Hugs
