The Autumnal colours were suggested by the Craft Room, Pan Pastel UK and Stamping Sensations challenges.
I used 3 large background stamps (Impression Obsession - Canvas and Grunge; Hero Arts/Sizzix Flourish) to create my "patterned paper". I combined different inks on the Canvas & Grunge and used watercolour crayons for the Flourishes. To give a seamless effect I use cut & Dry to blend the inks where the tone change is too big (e.g. from Walnut Stain to Antique Linen).
When using the crayons I use as little water as possible (better to get the crayon wet rather than the stamp) to preserve as much of the design as possible. Here is a pic of the stamp with the watercolour crayon so you can see how much there is.
The Crafty Individuals image has been inked with several Faber Castel big brush pens and I used Distress inks and Cut & dry to age the panel.
My finishing touches include gilding flakes on die-cuts and other die-cut pieces.
Love that technique and playing with the crayons is great fun,
Fantastic play, enjoying the chevrons and the note paper ripped edge, all adds to the textures on your fab page.
