Stamping Dragons Design DT Project - Friends

Hiya crafty peeps!
This is my first project for Stamping Dragon Designs DT!
Over on the SDD FB Group some ladies were discussing  The Gelli Plate.
I decided to use a very similar technique for my inspiration make.
 
I don't own a Gelli Plate. I use a glass worktop saver/cutting board.
You could use a piece of acetate or a laminated placemat etc.
As long as its a wipeable, smooth surface! Please don't use it for food once it's been used for craft... We don't want poorly peeps!
You will also need a speedball brayer & acrylic paint.
 
 
 
I used Fresco Paints in opaque colours: Pansy, Sky, Rose & Cheesecake.
 
 
I squirted them onto my glass board & then used my speedball brayer to smooth the paint all
over the board.
 
 
I then used sequin waste, stencils & stamped into the paint.
 
 
I also used an old washi tape roll!
 
 
Voila! Background complete!
 
 
I would usually stamp onto my background with inks & stamps but this time I used
Friends digi stamp by Stamping Dragon Designs.
How did I do it?
Well once dry, I put my background paper through my printer.
I then went over it with a quickie glue pen & heat embossed it with Black Embossing Powder.
I then filled the flower & leaves in with Translucent Frescos: Beach Hut & Hey Pesto. I also used some Wild Plum Paint Dabber.
 
 
I then coiled some copper wire for the centre of the flower.
I finished it off by gliding Peacock Feathers Distress ink around the edge & drew dashes of copper pen to look like a sewn edge. I mounted it onto craft card.

 
I hope you like it!
Thanks for Stopping by!

  10. Wow, beautiful work - so clever with the embossing of the digi stamp, and your non-Gelli print background is delicious.

    I hopped over to say thank you so much for your lovely feedback over at PaperArtsy last week - just getting round to repaying some visits!
