When in doubt – wing it!

May 31, 2010 by admin 3 Comments

From the moment I saw this stamp set on Donna Downey's website – I knew I had to have it.  I like this brand too.  They are deeply etched red rubber, mounted on a cling mount cushion.  So just pop them out and slap em on an acrylic mount.  Super easy.

I started with a piece of stitched mulberry paper from Prima.  On the wrong side, of course.  I love the blank, stitched canvas for painting with Glimmer Mist.  I painted the petals of the flowers first with Creme de Rouge Glimmer Mist, and then closer to the center with Strawberry Shortcake Chalkboard Mist to get a two-toned coloration.  Then I sprayed around the floral designs with Frost Blue Glimmer Mist.  For the final step on the flowers, I painted Champagne Glimmer Glam for extra sparkle, topping the flower with a pearl and crystal center from Prima.

I colored this beauty's hair with Copics, using E11 as the base, and added E13, E15, E17, E19 and a little bit of E57.  Her skin is E00/E21/E31, with E04 for her lips and RV11 for her cheeks.

And the wings and quote at the bottom are from Crafty Secrets.  I love little 'art parts' like these Creative Scraps.
 
I dragged the edge of the trim and quote through the leftover Glimmer Mist on the craft sheet.  I painted it lightly onto the wings in Creme de Rouge.  Some crystal swirl stickers from Prima are the finishing touch.

Thanks for looking!

    I really love the wings made from sheet music Sally Lynn. I’m going to use that idea. Thanks for the inspiration.

About Sally Lynn MacDonald

Profile photo of adminSally Lynn often mixes her love of creating and teaching art with her high-tech side – blending a love of handmade art with hybrid-digital media in what she playfully calls her ‘studio lab’. Every now and then her large-format printer is subjected to printing on a surface that definitely is not listed in the owners’ manual.

She is a maven for studio organization, using her abilities to use spreadsheets and databases to bring order from chaos. “It’s marvelous when the right and left brain actually work together in the studio!” Read More…

Instagram post 2191587425254464406_392177945 I finished my #resin #necklace, which started with a @gelpress print in the bright #copper #bezel from @ranger_ink and ended up including a wing element that my Mother-in-law gave me over the Thanksgiving holiday from a broken necklace. Sheet music #collaged into the resin says 'Cresc. molto' which roughly translated means 'growing a lot' and has become my talisman and phrase for 2020. Do you have a word or phrase for the coming year that helps guide your goals and dreams?
