Hello, I hope you had a lovely weekend and that the weather was good wherever you are!
Today I have another plaque made using one of the Tando mixed media boards, I love the size of these for making plaques and their sturdiness makes them great for all types of mediums. However unlike my wintery one on Friday this one has a much more hot, summer feel...
I will be entering this project into the following challenges...
I started by preparing the board with white gesso then used my gelli plate to make some prints. I used a leaf stencil by Artplorations with some lime marmalade and lemon meringue paint from IndigoBlu. I am still experimenting with my plate and also how different paints react so this was a bit of trial and error...
Once my board had dried I used a bold floral stencil (also from Artplorations) with some marshmallow paint to add some hot summer flowers. Then for extra highlights I added some white lines with paint and an old gift card and some very subtle yellow and green circles with a bottle lid...
To make the flowers stand out a bit more I added some black dots with a fine liner pen and then added a few more doodles. Using another piece of gelli print paper I stamped a sentiment from Jo Firth Young in archival black ink and then cut the words out...
I stamped and embossed one of the flower stamps by Leonie Pujol twice and cut them out so that I had two layers of petals. These were then coloured using Spectrum Aqua markers with sparkle pen...
Finally all the pieces were adhered using glue gel and I added a little bumble bee just to finish off the summer feel...
I hope that has put you in a summery mood, I love the bright colours as they are so happy!
On Wednesday I will be back with some extra photos of the triptych that I made for last weeks Leonie Pujol Entwined Christmas launch so I hope you will pop by to have a look,
Jane x
