Hallo Everyone!

Brrr! It's getting a bit

chilly here - how's the

temperature with you?

Don't get me wrong, 

after all it is getting on

for winter - I'll just

have to get another 

woolly out..........or

maybe............the

knitting needles! 

Here's Helen Chilton

who is using lovely

warm and bright colours!

"Wooden icon - lovely and bright. 

The Zinsky stamps work really well on this.

Start by gessoing and then painting

 in Fresco Finish Blue Oyster.

I've then stencilled in white with the 

Tim Holtz mosaic design stencil.

You can then add another colour on top

 (in this case Zesty Zing) and the

 colour will stay true.

Stamp your designs in a very light colour

 - I used Archival Shadow Grey.

The white paint comes out again, 

this time to block in the images.

Then you can stamp again in black 

over the top....

... and paint the flowers in bright 

colours over the white.

Add shadow and white dots to make it 'pop'.

I wasn't quite happy with the stencilling 

so drew round some of the pattern in a

 fine black pen. It just gave it a

 bit more definition.

Finish with some text."
