Mediterranean Moments - stepped up
Here are the details for our final project this week using Mediterranean Moments. I have to say I love this particular image - I can just imagine sitting on the bench reading a good book, perhaps with a long cool drink for company ...
As with our first project this week the image has been stamped in Stazon ink onto water colour paper. I used my Stamparatus to ensure I achieved a strong image.
I used Crumb Cake ink to add a thin layer of colour and then once dry, I went back and added additional layers to give me stronger browns where needed to add depth and shading.
I used a black water colour pencil to add details/colour to the bench and the railings.
Top Tip
Make sure the card is dry before you add the water colour pencil otherwise the colour will 'bleed'. Ask me how I know!
We used two of the rectangle stitched shape framelits to create a frame which was adhered to the card using foam adhesive strips. Pretty Peacock is my new favourite colour.
The painted panel was adhered with Tombow.
Here is the completed card - sentiment free so I can use it as a notecard.
Every time I colour this image, it turns out differently. There are so many little details and of course the colour variations are endless too.
I do have to wonder what I was thinking when I added Daffodil Delight to the lamp - it would not be lit up during the day would it?
Thanks to everyone who joined me this week. Next week we will be having a 'crafers choice' for Coffee & Cards. Head over to my facebook page to let me know what you would like to do. Perhaps you missed a particular project or there might be a stamp set you would like to use.
I've had three deliveries so far this week from Stampin' Up! - one of which were the new Annual Catalogues!! If you would like one and you can't get to my launch/BOGOF event on the 7th June let me know and I will pop one in the post for you.
I'm back again at the weekend hopping with Stampers By The Dozen - our theme this month is flowers, flowers and more flowers!
Have a crafty weekend.
