Now I have been very busy doing samples and home decor for our lovely Sheena Douglass, I have even missed posting my Groovy 60's sample on here so I will post them at the bottom of this one!
Sheena has her wonderful Rock stamps on a One Day Special starting Monday at 8pm on Hochanda then Tuesday at 9am, 12 noon, 4pm and finally 7pm. Not only are there the Rock stamps but also some great deals on the Sparkle pens and the metallic paint pens. Now these paint pens are great when you blend them with White Spirit or blending solution MAKE SURE YOUR ROOM IS WELL VENTILATED!
Here are my few samples that I made extra for the shows...
Aquatints background, guitars stamped Stamp the front one, (paint over with drawing gum then stamp the next one and keep repeating until you have the amount of guitars you want, remove the gum when dry and colour)I drew over with Pebeo Pens then coloured in with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens
Background is Aquatints, the Yellow & Red roses were stamped and coloured in with Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens. The Orange & Blue roses were stamped then foiled with Pebeo glue and foils then coloured using Aquatints, cut out and placed over the top of the other two to dimension. The sentiment was added on top.
The background was Gold & Silver Pebeo Pens blended with White Spirit then Distress Ink was added through a stencil (Sheena Douglass Groovy 60's 'Just Groovy') over the top. I stamped the Microphone onto a piece of White card and painted with Pebeo Drawing Gum, let it dry them added drops of Aquatints, Bright & Beautiful set, over the top letting them mix into one another and leave to dry. Once dry I rubbed off the drawing gum from the Microphone and painted the microphone with the Pebeo Silver Pen. I stamped the sentiment around the edge, rounded off the corners then matted it onto some Black card and placed it on top of the background as seen.
This background was made using Pebeo Silver & White Pens and blending them with White Spirit. I stamped the large circle stamp from the Sheena Douglass Little Bit Sketchy 'Grunge Band' using Black Versafine Ink in the four corners first then over laid the other circles in between so the middle circles were sitting just on the edge of the outer circles. Using the Gold Sparkle Pen I painted in the left side of the circles to add a bit of sparkle and left to dry. On a small piece of Black card I stamped the corner smaller circles using the Pebeo Mixtion Relief glue, left to dry for almost 1 hour, it needs to go clear, then added Pebeo Gold & Silver foils. On a piece of White card I stamped the Microphone using Black Versafine Ink then cut it out and painted over with Spectrum Noir Silver Pen, once dry I placed it on top of the foiled panel and placed it on the card as seem. I made two sentiments and placed them in the top and bottom corners.
So there are my four extras for the shows, I hope you like them. Now as promised here are the samples and home decor I made for the Groovy 60's shows that were on last week, I apologize for the abundance of photos, I wont give details of how I made them but if you require to know how something was made then do please email me or ask a question on the comments with your email address and I shall reply there.
