Brave Spirit Never be Afraid to Spread YOUR Wings ...

 

  Hello everyone, Kim here and welcome to my first DT blog post ... ever ... anywhere. I am so happy to be able to share with you my art using Tracy`s wonderful designs.

For this first project I have used "Believe" and "Spread your Wings" 

 I created the background using Distress Oxides in Raspberry and Wild Honey. I put ink on my mat, added water then laid paper on top "swooshed" it around then lifted paper. 

I always like to do a faux stitched line around my work with a stitch marker ... filling in the holes with a black timelines pen.

I also added a stamp to the background, you can use any stamp along with some stencilling for interest.

I always stamp the main image onto the background because I like to do "shadows", it`s easier than trying to do a shadow around the raised image. I then stamp Believe seperately, add colour with the same colours as I used for the background and some water colour pencils...snip her out. Can you see I also extended her top so that it meets the stitched line.

I stamped and embossed the wings onto vellum using white embossing powder, cut out and fixed to Believe`s back then popped her on the tag.

I stamped words, gave them a stitched edge and placed them on the tag. For the finishing touches I added some doodles to her top and the edges of the tag ... along with a little more detail with a Sparkle and white pen.

 I hope I have inspired you to have a go💖

 

Please show us your projects, we love to see what you make.
