The inspiration for that piece is Trish's Latimer art. If you aren't familiar with her work and images, take a tour on her blog here. In the August edition of Craft Stamper - warning: shameless plug ahead - in which one of my card feature - one of her designs was available as a digi stamp. [1]
Also on her blog, you can also find a link to a video showing Trish's background building process, which I followed for this project, making it my own with "my" colours and motifs and the foreground scene!
My substrate is a humble box lid but it is canvas size at 28x32 cms (11"x12"1/2) and will be in constant use during my crafting hours as it will hold some of my stash...
Paints:
- DecoArt: White tinting base, Primary Cyan, Pyrrole Red, Quinacridone Violet
- Paper Artsy: Yellow Submarine and Nougat Frescos
- Sequin waste (small and large),
- Harlequin die-cut -Tim Holtz Mixed Media die set
- Memory Box Piestra tile die cut .
- Grid texture: Stitch and Frame set
- Diamonds/Harlequin
- Old Book Page
- Textured Flowers
- Face from the Collage Mix plate
