Woman ATC

Whilst I was making my Lovely Lady card, which is in the May section now, I also made an atc and here it is for Theme Thursday 'Woman' challenge. I took a white glossy card and covered in in various shades of yellow and orange oil pastels, then covered it with a coat of white Gesso (my new aquisition on holiday). I stamped the image and scratched some Gesso off and coloured her face with chalks, then painted another coat of Gesso. I then added some Crackle glaze and Tea Dye Varnish with a paintbrush then dabbed it off to get the textured finish. A very different way with a favourite stamp.

Lovely Lady

Well, here at last is my entry for Ann's 'Facelift for an old Friend' challenge on my Challenge Blog and also for Make It Monday's 'Women' challenge. I took a white glossy card and covered in in various shades of yellow and orange oil pastels, then covered it with a coat of white Gesso (my new aquisition on holiday). I stamped the image and scratched some Gesso off and coloured her face with chalks, then painted another coat of Gesso. I then added some Crackle glaze and Tea Dye Varnish with a paintbrush then dabbed it off to get the textured finish. I mounted onto Whimsical Ways card stock from last week's Ideal World show then added the rose, flower and a couple of stickers. The top corners were rounded with my new scissors which were given to me last week by my lovely friend Frankie. A very different way with this lovely stamp.
