stamps, stencils and paper roses...

Hello again. Today's offering is a canvas I made at a workshop recently. This was with the very talented Hels Sheridan.


I am not going into detail about this one as i don't think it would be fair to Hels. We started with an 8x8 canvas.


To add texture we used die cuts and grunge paste through stencils. The colouring was with acrylic paints.


Stamping was in archival ink. There is stamping on background, main sentiment in banner style and also on masking tape to mimic washi tape and add more texture.


Finally it was time to add embellishments. The paper flowers including roses and daisies where spritzed in black and cosmic shimmer. Some gilding wax was added to embellies and around the edge. some coloured micro beads and dew drops finish it off.

As usual I hope you like my creation, Theresa xx

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:

Simon says stamp Monday challenge - stamps and stencils
Sunday stamper - paper roses
TTCRD - anything goes

  8. This is STUNNING! I would want to decorate a whole entire room just like this! I love how mixed soft florals with strong geometric shapes and patterns. The color palette is to die for (in a good way) and I love how your Dream banner has some curve to it. I especially like how you outlined certain parts in black. It's really an amazing project and I thoroughly enjoyed each and every picture and detail. Thank you so much for sharing this with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
