This is my latest piece for the That's Crafty blog - That's Blogging Crafty.
I already had several hand carved stamps. I brayered some Carbon Black paint on my
craft sheet and dipped the stamps in the paint before randomly stamping over my
That's Crafty Alterables Whiteboard
10.5ins x 8.25ins board. This is
my preferred way of getting the paint onto stamps, as I’m less likely to gunk
the stamp up ith paint ths way.
I then applied a coat of paint using dabs of DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics Quinacridone Mageneta and Napthol Red Light
brayed together so there were patches of
the different colours.
Next came the DecoArt Modeling Paste applied with a palette
knife over the Peony blooms only of the Donna
Downey Signature Stencil Bloom Group.
When dry I gave the petals and the gaps between a coat of
white paint then mixed the Napthol Red with the White to create different shades
of pink and applied them to the petals to give a sense of light and shade.
To make the blooms pop more from the background I went into
the space around the Blooms with Cobalt Turquoise, Green Gold and Hansa Yellow
Light
Finally I added my text Bloom
