Hello everyone!
I'm back with my second blog post for October. The stamp set of choice is the stunning The Folk Art Garden set.
I used the largest stamp from the set in the centre of a 5" square card and then added some of the smaller stamps around the edge for extra detail.
I used a variety of transluscent and metallic paints to colour the images, taking care not to move around the images so that the paint could dry properly in each area.
I could have stopped there but I had in mind a fantastic painting - The Kiss- by Gustav Klimt, which is one of my all time favourite works of art. I am lucky enough to have seen the original; it's incredibly vibrant and rich, using oils and gold leaf. In my more modest piece, I simply covered the white space with gold metallic paint.
Like my last post, this card takes some time to create, but if you need a special one, this could be the approach. It would look equally good framed as wall art.
Happy crafting!
Christine
