We Love 2 Create – Flamenco Angel!

Hello! Happy Sunday!

Time for a new monthly challenge at WE LOVE 2 CREATE which is always ‘Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes’ and we are sponsored by the awesome POLKADOODLES!! Our winner will receive a fabulous prize so check out the blog for details.

Now I created this project some time ago for the Hochanda launch of the BELIEVE IN ANGELS COLLECTION but never blogged it.  So here we are my version of a flamenco dancer.

I stamped the angel and coloured with watercolours.  I used the fabulous CREATIVE ANGEL stencil to make multiples of the dress using shimmer texture paste and then cut them all out.

I edged each dress piece with the border of one of the FANCIFUL CIRCLES dies and made her sleeves and collar with some of the cut offs.  I layered up my dresses to create a ‘flowy’ feel and added some flowers to her hair stamped from the FLOWER POWER 1 set gave her an exotic look. 

I mounted everything onto a slim canvas covered with paper from one of the gorgeous POSY DOODLES A4 KITS.

 Ingredients:

Polkadoodles Goodies:

Stamps: BELIEVE IN ANGELS & FLOWER POWER 1

Stencil: CREATIVE ANGEL

Dies: FANCIFUL CIRCLES

Other Stuff:

Ink: Versafine

The Rest: Canvas - Watercolours

Hello, how’s it going?

Time for a new monthly challenge at WE LOVE 2 CREATE which is always ‘Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes’ and we are sponsored by the awesome POLKADOODLES!! Our winner will receive a fabulous prize so check out the blog for details.

So my DT project today has the dubious honour of being my first ever art journal page.  However, I am reluctant to refer to it as ‘art’ or a ‘journal’ really so it’s official title will be my ‘Messing Around Book’! Yes much more ME!! 

So this started life as an inked and stamped pattern created on my gel press using Distress Oxides and stamps.  I used Versamark ink through my stencils to emboss the angel wings and unicorn horns and used starlight paint for the feathers.  I think I was going for a slight nod towards the film Maleficent….at least that’s what I’m saying!

Ok so it’s a bit ‘out there’ but isn’t that what Art Journaling....sorry Messing Around...is all about??!!
