Apple Blossom
Stamps by Alison Bomber
I am using a technique I taught at Country View Crafts a few weekends ago, Everyone loved it and the effects they achieved.
Stamp and wider stamp the apple blossom to cover approximately half the page. This was a practice one I did.
Paint the images with masking fluid and leave to dry - this is an experiment in a Hobbycraft Shore and Marsh A5 sketchbook which says it is watercolour paper but it does not allow the distress inks to work and react with water like other card and watercolour papers do. So I shall be giving this sketchbook a miss in the future. After stamping over the images with the masking fluid still on and dipping into watery distress ink puddles, I made sure the ink was dry all over and rubbed the masking fluid from the page and then painted the images using my chosen palette of colours.
From there I made sure I had recorded colours on a colour palette I created and use quite frequently at the moment.
I also made some swatches as I needed to include Rustic Wilderness which was an additional colour at the last minute.
After adding the words and some thin cheesecloth I cut coloured papers echoing the coloured inks I had used and made the tiny bunting. The composition just needed something in the top right hand corner ......
.... and it finished with a splattering of white using a large white chalk marker.
