We had some fabulous entries in last months Craft A Scene challenge, which was 'A Winter Scene', and I believe the winning entries will be posted up this weekend.
So now onto this months Challenge, which is 'Moonlight'.
For the first of my two pieces this month, I have used images from Lavinia Stamps, Stampscapes, and Inkylicious.
The Lavinia Stamps are:
Moon Fairy
Bamboo( Bottom Left)
Fairy House
The Inkylicious are:
Grasses
Willow (Bottom Right)
The Stampscapes are:
Oak Branch, 203G and
Spooky Branch 273G.
This piece sort of grew of its own accord as I worked on it, and I wasn't entirely sure what I would do with this when it was done, but when I got to the end, I realised I had made our Granddaughters Birthday present!
She loves fairies, and this will go in a frame for her bedroom.
The piece of card is A5 in size, 5 3/4 x 8 1/4. I brayered the background firstly with Adirondack dye inks, starting with Cool Peri. I followed this with Shell Pink,Stonewashed,Purple Twilight and Eggplant. The 'tunnel' effect was achieved by keep turning the card so that I brayered all four sides, and tried to come in a little further at the corners by brayering across the corner. All the images were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, starting with the Moon Fairy. Next came the Fairy House, then I added the grasses along the bottom edge, Willow in the right corner and Bamboo in the left. The 2 oak branches and the Spooky Branches were all positioned using the Stamp Positioner, so that I could get the orientation right.
The moon was given a little colour with Antique White Flexmarker, and I used Promarkers in browns, reds and greens to colour the Fairy House. I added a little colour to her wings with a Glitter Sakura Gelly Roll pen, and also the dots around the moon. I dotted a glue pen between the Moon Fairy & the Fairy House, then sprinkled some crystal glitter over it. That doesn't show up too well, to be honest, and I shall add some more dots of Stickles over the top, before I frame it. Then I just trimmed the edges to neaten it, and matted it onto some black cardstock.You can probably see that I tend to work on top of an A3 pad, the sort you can buy for children as a sketch pad. It makes it easy to take the ink off your brayer, test stamp images, stamp off onto, and sometimes you end up with a really interesting masterboard style piece, quite by accident!
So thats my first this month, pop over to Craft A Scene tomorrow and you will see all the DT first pieces, as well as the winners from last month.
