Hello there! Rachel here today with my third and final installment from the February shows. This first piece gave me lots of joy in the making. I used a piece of calico and stamped on it using the main honeysuckle butterfly image in versafine ink. I then painted it using translucent paints and then I got my needle out and simply stitched around the outline of the flowers plus the stamens. I then added the ring and folded the extra fabric into the back and covered it with felt to make a small hanging picture.
This next piece was made using one of the wooden plaque/signs from the website. First I used gel medium to adhere one of the black and white papers to the plaque then stamped butterflies from the butterfly blush using pink ink onto card and then overstamped using the corresponding stamps from the just butterflies set before fussy cutting.
Hope you have a lovely day - I will see you next month!
Hugs
Rachel xx

ReplyDeleteThree such varied creations Rachel and love the painting on to calico in those striking colours and love the outline stitching which makes it pop, and then the plaque with a wonderful background paper and the pretty pink stamped and fussy cut butterflies, and lastly that brilliant accordian card using more of these black and white papers and white embossed on to black images which is a very strong look. x
