Place your circle stencil just off the top left side of your card blank. Spray the Izink Bleu Ciel and Blue Moon, lightly through the stencil.
|
Carefully remove the stencil and mop up the excess ink. |
|
Place the circle mask top left of your inked circle, as shown here. You can use low tack tape to help keep it in place. |
|
Use your blending brush to add the Izink Ocean around the circle mask, but only within your inked circle. The ink should fade out as you blend away from the edge of the mask. Remove the mask, and set your card blank to one side, to dry. |
|
Place this die, from the Spring Boots Die Collection, on to the top of your A4 white card. Roughly cut the card around it, setting the remainder to one side for later. Run the boots die through your die cutting machine. Use your watercolour paints to paint your die cut boots, as desired. Set this aside to dry. |
|
Place this foliage die, from the Botanical Wings Die Collection, on to the leftover white card. Run it through your die cutting machine. |
|
Use your watercolour paints to colour the die cut grasses, as desired. Dry off the paint.
|
|
Adhere the painted grasses on to the bottom left of your card blank. You can trim off any overhang, but i left mine. |
|
Adhere your painted boots just to the right of your grasses. |
|
Mix up a pale grey shade of paint, and add shadows under your die cut boots, to "ground" them. |
|
Ink up the flock of birds stamp, from the Pencil Sketch Elements Stamp Collection, with the Onyx Black Versafine. Stamp them across your moon. |
|
Ink up the sentiment stamp, from the Adventure Begins Stamp Collection, with the Versafine, and stamp bottom right of your artwork. |
|
To finish, add the Gossip Clear Overlay sparkle where desired. I added mine to my floral and foliage die cut elements. |
