I did a lot of work on the background of this one, starting with laying down a layer of clear gesso, then adding layers of paper strips and fussy cut images, which I blended in using white gesso. I then added stamping with Prima Stitches stamps, and heat embossed the lines in a bright red to contrast with the layers of blue Color Bloom sprays I added to the background.
Here is the sketch, by the talented Keren Tamir.
A couple closeups:
To get the depth as well as shimmer on the Wood Icon bugs, I gave them a rough coat of Super Heavy Gesso in Black before adding Color Bloom sprays.
A layout just isn't complete without some chipboard - I added a little Blue Fern Studios chipboard covered in copper embossing powder behind my photo.
Adding a pop of a contrasting colour is a great way to add visual interest, as you can see by the bright red stitching.
A little black outline to the canvas alphas just makes them pop.
Thank you so much for stopping by today!
