Paperartsy Skinnys Swap
The backgrounds for this set were created by using watercolour card, applying texture paste and gesso on to one of the pieces, then sandwiching the other piece on top. I then waited for them to dry and covered them in various inks. I used stazon, distressed inks and adirondak dye inks. They all gave different effects. I stamped one image direct to the card and the other three I stamped onto white card stock, coloured them with chalks or distressed inks and attached them to the background pieces.
These backgrounds were created using Ranger acrylic paint dabbers and/or Jo Sonja paints. I used gesso on a couple to act as a resist. I then stamped the images directly onto the backgrounds.
These three were created using backgrounds I'd previously made. Top left is my textured alcohol inks background, and I added the image and some direct stamping around the edges. Top left is an acrylic paint sandwich background with the images stamped directly onto the background and the bottom is my leaf style adirondak colour layering background, again the images have been stamped direct using stazon ink.
If anyone in the swap has any preference please let me know as soon as, as they are going in the post tomorrow!!!!
