Hello everyone! Here is a new creation for you....I actually made it quite a while ago - but Artistic Stamper are doing Ladies day this month and well, this seemed to be very appropriate!
I got some mini paper substrates from PaperArtsy and I love these...as you know from my 'Little Things' creation I really like using these - they can take a lot of punishment - I love things that will withstand a lot of re-painting and sanding down (just in case of the rare error....ok...the 'not so rare' error!)
I recently got some of the Gibson girls stamps - these are so beautiful and I couldn't resist making something straight away.
While looking on the PaperArtsy site I found a technique of stamping on tissue paper (which I had done before) but the new aspect was painting on the back with Fresco paints. So I stamped these images onto tissue paper using Coffee archival ink and painted the back of the tissue image with Vintage Lace Fresco paint.
..............and of course couldn't resist a bit of crackle effect as well!
I had just got some new Fresco paints in several shades of brown - so used these to cover the hanging and dry brushed different shades around the faces to make them blend in.
Hope you like it! Thank you for being here and I hope to see you all again soon
I would like to enter this for the following challenge -
