ArtStack May 2022

I started out with some watercolor paper and ink smooshed the background using Old Paper and Weathered Wood Oxides and set it aside to dry.  I fussy cut one of the images from Deb Weiers Wonky Faces from ArtStacks.  I created small splatters using the Weathered Wood Oxide and a fan brush as well as brushed a bit onto the background. I toner foiled some of the background stripes from Deb Weiers Wonky Backgrounds and glued a part of the negative foil onto the background with some Collage Medium then peeled  up the plastic while still a bit damp and rubbed some more Weathered Wood Over to get that sort of grungy look.

I used some sticky dots to glue the figure onto the background then outlined her with my Stabilo black pencil and used a small wet brush to expand the shadow around her to sort of maker her pop and add dimension.  I cut a circle out of the stripped background paper and glued it onto a couple of same sized heavy cardstock to give it some dimension and used a white and black colored pencil to create a shadow and light then grunged it up a bit with some Peeled Paint Oxide and glued it down to a bunch of silver thread.  I cut out some of the words from the Wonky backgrounds and also popped them up on some heavy cardstock to make them sturdy. I altered one of the words to read inSANITY outlined with black pen and red pencil, then added some of the Peeled Paint and Weathered Wood Oxide. I also added a litte piece of blue twine to one of the words. I cut a small circle out of the Wonky Backgrounds paper and also added shadow to it and glued it down to the card panel.  I glued the words down then outlined the whole thing with my black Stabilo pencil and smeared it a bit.  I cut a mat piece out of black cardstock with my Deckle Trimmer and glued the panel down to that then popped the whole thing up onto a Kraft card base.  I added the small dots of dimensionals and she was done!

Art Stacks Paper Design


 

Today's design features more beautiful papers from Art Stacks!

I created the background with just some Tim Holtz Distress Ink Stains on watercolor paper.

I printed out the design in the background from the Bright and Bold Collection by Lisa Oxley onto some tissue paper. I tore out the portion that I wanted and stuck it down to the paper with some Distress Collage Medium.  and then painted more of the Distress Collage Medium over the top.  Once dry, I spattered white acrylic paint to create, well, the spatters!

I printed the hands holding the flower from the Anemones and Friends paper collection onto some Hamilco glossy cardstock and then fussy cut out the hands and glued them to my background.  I cut out the printed sentiment from the Anemones and Friends collection and then cut it apart and matted each part with some black cardstock and glued it down to the card panel.  I trimmed the whole panel with my deckle edge trimmer and glued it down to a black card base.

You can find these papers and much more inspiration over at Art Stacks!
