Layers Upon Layers

Sandra our Creativity Venture leader has set me an extra personal challenge for this month.  This was the brief -

Avoiding the squares

Create a tag 

Using a quarter of each part of the tag to create something different 

Top left - Must consist of three layers

Top right and bottom left - Must consist of two layer

Bottom right - must be one layer   

Theme, medium and technique your choice. Size and shape of the the tag is also your choice. 

Have fun

Sandra has created these personal challenges to make us think outside the box, so rather than just do layers, I took a different approach.  For each section of the tag, I used the relevant number to represent the layers of paint, the number of times I used a stencil and finally the number of layers for stamping.  

So using the techniques show cased on the PaperArtsy blog from the last couple of weeks and a huge #12 tag, I set to it.

Top Right - l Layer

Paint layer - snowflake fresco paint

Stencil - Harlequin using mushroom fresco paint

Stamping - image and words stamped directly onto the tag

Doodling with black Posca pen

Top Left - 2 Layers

Paint Layers - Haystack and Hey Pesto

Stencils - Reverse of the above harlequin and small circles in mushroom

Stamping - image stamped onto acetate, bunting stamped directly onto the tag and another layer added over the top using 3d foam
