Hier mijn bijdrage voor Wednesday Stamper: Summer Tea Party. De eerste canvas van de 2, wil graag een setje maken voor in het trappenhuis :o) Here my entry for Wednesday Stamper: Summer Tea Party. The first canvas of 2, I want to make a set for my stairway.
Here the describtion of how I did this for anyone who wants to know but especially for Faye :o)
I started off with a blanc chunky canvas and transferred this gorgeous image of the woman ( a freebie on the blog of Gaby) with a gel medium, then took an image of a tea pot and transferred that partially over the woman image. Then I put on a thick layer of gesso with a spatula, just randomly so you keep some open spots, they will show up when you have sponged it, because the ink will be darker on those spots to gice it a distressed look. Let this dry overnight. Then I took a template and put gesso on it with a spatula again and then immeddiatly remove the template. Again let dry overnight. After everything had dried I sponged with Adirondack inks, some different blues and Distress ink tea dye. Then took a text stamp from hero Arts and stamped that with Distress ink Tea dye. Then took some sequin scrap and sponged with white ink (brand unknown). While this was drying I coloured the spoon with alcohol inks and then transferred a rose on the spoon with gel medium. I took a used tea bag (removed the tealeaves and let it dry) and warpped the string around the spoon. Fasten the spoon with some gold wire. Finished it off by faux stichting around the tea pot.
