Anyway, on to today's project - I started by inking the background with Distress Inks: Chipped Sapphire, Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves and Fossilised Amber and used the Chicken Wire by The Crafters Workshop stencil to add some interest.
Then I stamped the image on the with VersaFine Onyx Black, applying VersaFine Crimson Red on the bold letter. I added colour to the rose with Faber Castell Polychromos and lashings of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter on the word "love". To finish the project - a few burgundy pearls. Truth be told, those pearls are hiding inky smudges!

ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty! I would have thought you stamped before you inked, it's what I do, but doing it like this you don't have to mask off the image. Clever!
