Hello creative friends,
I'm here to share my Design Team piece for a new challenge
starting today over HERE @ Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #117
Presenting you with the Sketch below to copy and create
those speckles could represent texture or a pattern
along with the flower an image or a sentiment.
How ever you chose to use the sketch come share your creativity
over HERE, you do not need to use Paperbabe Stamps to join in..
Here's what I saw in the sketch and how it all came to be...
Onto a sheet of copper i've traced around a small wooden frame
and stamped flourishes from the Flourishing Hair stamp set
there are lots of specialised tools we can make marks with
but one of my favourite things to use is a ball point pen
slowly retracing the steps of those stamped areas...
When the metal is turned over it exposes those retraced areas,
now raised and embossed a little black gesso helps brings out
those marks made so much more.
*Carefully* cut out the aperture using your choice of tool,
I use a pair of pointed strong scissors set aside for thicker
materials just like this. Gently molded around the frame,
strong double sided tape helps keep the embossed metal
exactly where I want it positioned around the frame.
Rotating the frame I added a fibreboard whimsical word
painted with black gesso but I may just paint over that
word with some copper metallic paint to make that smile
appear seamless upon the frame...
but for now she sits displaying a dinky female face.
The DT look forward to seeing your take on our
Take care everyone
*BE CREATIVE*
and stay very very safe
