Stampendous/Dreamweaver - Flowers and Fairies - Day 4

6/25/2015

3 Comments

 
Imagine my delight with this week's theme at Stampendous 'cuz I could use my absolute favorite Dreamweaver Fairy stencil!  My project today has many layers, elements and parts to it, but It began with stamping the Stampendous flowers several times onto mixed media paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink and coloring them with Faber-Castell Gelatos and water.

Here's the finished project:

The Dreamweaver fairy was pasted with white paste and set aside to dry.  Next, I tackled the inside panel and background.  It's pretty much all covered up by the embellishments, but the gist of it was this:

Starting with a gessoed 8-1/2x11 mixed media cardstock, I cut the panel to the specified size.  TIP:  Spray Krylon Gesso Spray outside (bad fumes!)  'cuz I want that part done fast using my handy-dandy home-made large spray paint box.  I was going for soft and dreamy colors of Gelatos and scribbled one color at a time and blended with my finger.  I touched the piece with a heat tool in between layers.  The next layer was to stamp a Stampendous image that was colored with Gelato and spritzed with water.  I love this technique because one Gelato colored image goes a very long way.  Unfortunately, you can't really see it in the photo below, but it is the specks of darker color.  Finally (my fav part!), I grabbed a baby wipe and a stencil from the Stampendous Filigree set, and wiped into the stencil open areas to remove color!  Voila!

Here's a leftover scrap which gives you an idea of the design.

Working on the fairy was next and all coloring was done before I cut her out.  I gessoed the fairy using my regular formula with a paint brush as I wanted assurance of true colors.  Wings (Peerless Gold), body (Gelatos in a mix of Dreamweaver FX) to get lots of shimmer.

Once the color was dry, then I fussy cut her out and applied an encrusted jewel technique using Stampendous Pink Encrusted Jewels and mounted on the card.  TIP:  Hold the fairy with tweezers rather a clamp to avoid teeth marks!

Notice the sage fragments in front of the fairy?  That is an acrylic piece I cut and hot glued to the fairy.  The Stampendous Build A Bouquet Butterfly and flower (Paper Mart) are also affixed to the acrylic.  A ribbon (Hug Snug) was tied around the bottom panel to help fill in open space.

Before affixing the inner panel to the outer panel, I dry embossed the outer panel with the Dreamweaver Plaid stencil.  To pretty up the bottom edge, I embossed the Stampendous Cling Filigree Stamp with Versafine ink and Stampendous Gold ultra fine embossing powder. Once all the pieces were assembled onto the inner panel including the Stampendous Timeless Fairytales Sentiment, I added Pink Encrusted Jewels to the top and bottom to add more texture and excelsior (my stash) to add more dreamy fantasy.
