SDC180 Painted Background



Corrie is a painter at heart and has called for painted backgrounds in this weeks Stampotique Designer's Challenge.  I must confess, I began with a painted background but I could not help myself by keeping it in the background and collaging over it!

I began by painting a piece of watercolor paper with two hues of green.  I applied a white wash with watered down white acrylic brushed over the paint.  I pulled scraps in the same color family along with book paper and washi tape.  My stamped image "bird in a cage"  is colored and machine stitched with gold thread.   Maria Sabina Rits's "Enjoy today" quote is stamped over the painted collage with tuxedo black Momento.  Posca paint pens are used to color open areas in the letters.  The collage is attached to a piece of black cardstock with grommets.
