Hi everyone! It's Lisa with you today and welcome to a VERY special #TexturalTuesdays!! I'm beyond excited to have one of the most talented ladies in the biz here in The CLASSroom with me today to share her beautiful work with us today. My prompt for all of you is to show non-traditional colors with texture. (You all know how I love my texture!) And Jill Foster ROCKs both!
(For complete challenge information head to this post.)
First, I adhered a piece of watercolor paper directly to the manila tag and cut it to size. This way I have the perfect surface for a watercolor tag! I am using the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors to color my background and also the Inkadinkado Stamping Mask Paper to mask off my images (which I die cut) for placement.
It kinda looks weird at this point, doesn't it? I love that!!
Next lay your stencil over the entire piece, tack it down with low-tack tape (if possible), and using a palette knife spread Texture Luxe™ in Pearl through the stencil. (I reuse these paper stencils until they die, as you can tell.) Pull the stencil straight up.
Then carefully peel up your masks and allow the Texture Luxe™ to dry.
Next, stamp the Mondo Poinsettia (large - one time, small - twice) using Versafine Onyx Black Ink and heat set with Clear Embossing Powder on watercolor paper.
Color the images with Art GRIP Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils in Neutrals and Reds (I used black, grey, and silver for the leaves and a deep red for the center).
Die-cut the Mondo Poinsettia flowers with the coordinating die. Embellish the flower centers with Ranger Enamel Accents in Black. Blend the watercoloring further with the Zig Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Tip Marker in Clear.
I also die cut the word "Joy" (Love and Joy - Penny Black) 3 times from Bazzill Card Shoppe Licorice Twist and 2 times from Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Heavy Weight Cardstock 110# and adhered them all together, but slightly offset.
Before adhering the flowers in place place plenty of Scrapbook Adhesives 3D foam squares on the back for dimension. And die cut some of the Berry Leaves from the Leaves Penny Black Die and tuck behind the large Poinsettia before adhering.
A little close-up action! ;)
We're always dazzled by Jill's fabulous creations - in fact, we are just tickled pink (and yellow and blue and purple) to be able to share Jill's non-traditional colors and textures tag with you! Jill showcases Penny Black's stamps and dies to help us think outside of our creative box. You can find so much inspiration using the Penny Black stamps, dies and stencils on the blog she shares with Elizabeth - be certain to check out Studio Sessions and be inspired! Thank you so much Jill! It's adorable!
