Don't you just love it when you are just 'faffing around' with no particular plan, and then something you really like emerges. That's exactly what happened with this weeks DT project for Visible Image .
I started with an old gelli print I have had lying around for at least a year ( I am on a bit of a use up mission as all my scraps are beginning to take over my craft area). This was created with some embroidery mesh laid on the plate to create the texture.
Then I added more layers with the Count Me In, Meshing Around and Square Route stencils and distress ink.
I stamped the brilliant Fibonacci stamp in the centre, and either side I added more detail with the Elemental background stamp.
I adore the flower from Total Chaos and had one already coloured in orange, so that was the natural choice as a main image. I stamped the image onto the card for placement, and added shading around it to make it pop before adhering my fussy cut flower head and adding highlights. I also stamped and heat embossed the circuit board stamp for another layer of interest, and added the sentiment 'Creativity' as this summed up exactly how I felt about this piece coming together. To finish I splattered white and pink Golden High Flow paint over to pull all the elements together.
Visible Image will be appearing on Create and Craft TV on Saturday 29th August at midday and 6pm with some amazing stamps and gorgeous samples to show so set your reminders and take a look if you want to see lots of lovely inspiration from the team. It's one not to be missed!
