Normal service is resuming, everywhere. Last autumn a number of bulbs found their way into the soil in my back patch. Checking their progress there are lots of proper little plants poking through now, I am excited to see them come to flower but hope it will not be all at once! The intention was to have a changing display of flowers over the late winter and spring months.
Watching the new growth is something very pleasurable at this time year it certainly helps chase away the winter blues.
This panel, destined for one of my Art Journal pages, was the result of the experimental days last week. Playing with the shaving foam technique I wondered if it worked well on a pre stamped piece of card. The answer is Yes. The shaving foam was used with Brushos, and all the stamping was in gold ink.
Once stamped and given the shaving foam treatment the panel was allowed to dry. When waiting the blossom and lanterns were stamped and fussy cut. All the stamps used are from the Creative Stamper magazine set. The Japanese lady and blossom were coloured with Bruynzeel felt pens, which seems to have broken down a little going over the shaving foam residue. Overall experiment a success.
I'm sharing this now with:
Watercooler Wednesday - #332 Tristan's Challenge All Things Feminine
Stamping Sensations - Anything Stamped Goes with the option of using a die. Guessing fussy cutting does not count!
