3D Bloom and Texture

3D Bloom and Texture

Hallo Everyone!

How're you today? 

Still enjoying the holiday?

Or are you back to the grind and the

holiday rapidly becoming a dim 

and distant memory

Never mind, here is Craftyfield

with a project that is sure to

set the mojo going

 I started with the Weft and Fabric Numbers stencil by Carabelle 

and Memory inks and obtained a lovely soft effect. 

I carried on stencilling with the Chicken wire Reversed Stencil.

For the next step I used sprays with the Shedded stencil (DecoArt), 

in Cobalt blue and Precious Stone.

Time for the pastes, here I used black gesso 

with the same Carabelle stencil having 

obliterated my previous stencilling with the spray! 

I also used Grunge paste with Pixillated.

As a project progresses I reassess the balance of colours 

and, if I find something not working, I try and change it. 

I didn't like the white in the background so 

I knocked it back with Distress inks. 

I then added Grunge paste through the Inspiration stencil. 

You'll see that the "Inspire" has also changed colour 

in the final photo, simply because it was hard to see 

against the background

My focal point is a Tando frame against that Inspire word 

and I painted it with Imagination Crafts Starlight Paints 

(Dark Orchid, Mint and Platinum)

3 Butterflies of different sizes provide the finishing touches.

 They are from a Crafty Individuals set, and I used 

both line and solid versions of the images, 

line with black ink and solid with blue and oranges dye inks.

In this picture you get an idea of how much shine the

 Starlight paint gives when hit by direct sunlight.
