"Vintage Butterfly"
I would like to share a couple of cards that I have been working on. My first one is the Gesso Resist Challenge (TLC217) I really struggled with this one & I really did not get the technique down, I didn't have Gesso, so I improvised. Well, I sure had fun trying! Here's some information from SCS regarding Gesso: Gesso is an art supply used as surface preparation or primer for painting, gilding, and sculpting. Its origins are uncertain, but gesso is believed to have been developed in Italy, since the word gesso is Italian for 'chalk'. Preparation varies according to intended use, but usually consists of mixing glue with plaster, chalk, or gypsum. If you take a close look at the background print. You can see where I stamped solid butterflies, clear ebossed them & then shaded around the edges. It is very faint, but still a cool effect. I finished it off with a wonderful piece I got from Jessica Brown. "Asian Pearl"
The above Asian style card was today's SCS Sketch Challenge. I hope I did it justice. The image is embossed and then, of course painted with my new Copics. Embellished it with some broken jewelry from my stash. I still have to finish off the insides and make up envelopes for them, but I really wanted to get them posted. If you like my work, I would love for you to follow along on my creative journey. I have so much to share, I wish I could do this stuff 24/7 but I have those little ones to look after. Shoot me a comment and let me know what kinds of things you would like to see from my blog. I have so many ideas, I am not sure which direction to go next, so Please leave me a comment with your thoughts :) Hug someone a split second longer today!!

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are gorgeous. I especially like your asian card. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThese are both gorgeous Priscilla, but the close up of the Asian card is just unbelieveable! You did an amazing job of coloring that image! Is that upper left-hand background a piece of fabric?
ReplyDeleteBTW, my husband told me that my package arrived today. I can't wait until I am home again so I can try out the template. (I am babysitting my grandson for two weeks and won't be back home until May 2nd or 3rd).
As for what type of tutorials you should produce, I for one would just love to see a step by step of one of your vintage cards. There are so many elements you include in each one that it is pretty mind blowing to me.
Love that Vintage Butterfly. :)
