This piece of altered art was made during a craft class with Lisa Baker. There are a few techniques here, perhaps more than you realise when you first look at it! The paper mache frame has been covered all over in white emulsion. The edges have been highlighted with some Distress Ink. Once dry the Imagination Crafts Bay Leaf stencil has been placed over the sides and the bottom, with the image 'coloured' using Distress Inks and a small piece of cut and dry foam for added accuracy. I have tried to 'shade' the flowers and stalks, but this is quite tricky! As the inks are going on top of the emulsion you get a lovely matt effect which is effective when compared to the middle square. The middle panel has been layered onto purple card and the same stencil placed and coloured with the same inks again. This time, on paper, they are more vibrant. Once dry, the petal edges have been highlighted using a tiny sweep of Flitterglu and some silver flake rubbed over them. The sentiment is from Lavina Stamps and has been stamped with the same colours in a graduated way.
