This month's calendar page asks for the colour blue and umbrellas. Here is my entry using a stamp from Non Sequitur's kimonos and cranes set. For the background I mixed white & ultramarine Brushos with water to make a wash which I painted over some cloud shaped masks. When dry I stamped the Studio G border in Versafine crimson red. The main image was stamped separately, coloured with coloursoft pencils and cut out. I stamped an extra umbrella which I mounted on foam pads. A small piece of fabric tape was used to ground the image (although she still appears to have some clouds below her LOL, perhaps she's an oriental Mary Poppins!).
I will try and visit you all if I can but this month may be difficult.
A great image to choose and so pretty!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty page, fab image! xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the oriental woman :)
ReplyDeleteGreat page, and great stamp. Love the colours too.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact there are clouds below her. It reminds me of the 70s Japanese TV show Monkey...fond memories :-)
ReplyDeleteLOL or the Japanese equivalent of Mary Poppins!
DeleteLovely page, love the stamp.
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty! I actually thought of Mary Poppins when I first saw it. <3 :-D
ReplyDeleteLovely April page the oriental theme was a great idea
ReplyDeletePerfect image for the theme! I see you've used white Brusho and was wondering how opaque it is?
ReplyDeleteNot very opaque, in fact if I remember I had to add some white acrylic to tone down the highly pigmented ultramarine Brusho. The white is quite weak in comparison.
DeleteGreat to know, thank you !
Deletethe page has a certain calm to it, love the border, clever idea to add dimension with the umbrella.
ReplyDeleteLove that image!! Thank you for joining in the Craft Barn Challenge.
