This is my second inspiration make for the STAMPlorations Theme & Sketch Challenge for March,
the theme and sketch are:
the theme and sketch are:
As usual, you can either follow only the Theme or the Sketch, or use both!
This time I used the sketch for this tag:
I made the background by layering 2 blue acrylic paints, one light and one mid-tone, spreading with a silicone brush. I added a little bit of Bistres powder (a walnut and pigment mix) on top of a thin acrylic glaze and sprayed water to create drips.
Around the tag I used brown paint and then a layer of crackle paste. To reveal the crackles I used white paint.
On the left hand side I added some embossing with Frantage Aged Aqua.
I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Born to Roam set in Vanilla white directly on the tag and stamped the globe and boat from the same set in black on a separate piece of card before colouring with alcohol ink pens.
Come by the STAMPlorations blog for more inspiration from the DT!

ReplyDeleteThat's a sensational background, Christine... a combination of paint and powders that I'm going to have to try some time. The perfect ocean setting for the dramatic entrance of the ship... and of course I'm mad for the crackled edges! Thanks so much for joining us at A Vintage Journey to celebrate our 5th birthday.
