Alone.....

Which is actually the total opposite of my life right now....all four little darlings (!!) are off school/college and are being rather noisy, messy etc etc. Alone? Oh how I wish I was......!
Anyway.....as escaping into the studio is now essential for the sanity, I have lots to show you! First this week is this colourful panel...hence the 'alone' title of the post!
I started off by glueing the text paper and washer border strip to the base card...
Then added some corrugated card...
Everything got covered with a wash of gesso, and i also scraped gesso through a bit of large hole sequin waste too...
Once all that was dry, I added all the vibrant colour you can see. A mixture of spray inks and watered down paint. Spray inks don't like to cover gel medium very well, so thicker paint was needed in some parts where the medium had escaped from under the text!
Stamping and printing using paint....
And then I added my image. This is probably one of my all time favourite feminine figure images, by Stamping Bella. (She actually has a little bird perched on her shoulder when stamped, I prefer it with the birdie cut off!)
Idea-ology letters form the word....
And that was it!!!
I love the hot summery colours, so I'm linking up with The Stamp Man Challenge -anything goes/summer colours this week, and as I have used my favourite feminine image stamp, I'm also linking up with The Simon Says Stamp And Show Challenge -Hey Girl

Thanks for looking!
Love Trish xxxx

    Your colorful panel is beautiful and I can sooooo relate to the "alone" thing right now! haha Love your background and all of the patterns and texture. The stamp of the your windswept lady is really nice against the background. Thanks for sharing your art with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy

    Stunningly gorgeous colours, and the textures are wonderful. Her isolation is beautifully expressed in pure white.
