Finger Painting

A bit of finger painting today, lol.



I've been watching an old Art Journalling DVD by Kate Crane where she does painty backgrounds with her fingers and thought I would have a go. 

It didn't go particularly well, the paint dried quite quickly so colours didn't blend well (most of the paints are a few years old to be fair). I might try adding a gesso base to the card next time.


The more paint I added the worse it got :D


so I decided to quit while I was behind.

 To knock it back a bit I sponged through a stencil with white paint and also overstamped some circle patterns in white paint.


then started adding a bit of texture using co-ordinating distress inks and black versafine.
 


Ingredients:-

Daler Rowney Smooth Heavyweight paper
Pebeo Deco acrylics - mango, lemon, antique pink
Docrafts acrylic - guava
Daler Rowney acrylic - zinc mixing white
#67 Broken Circles stencil by Aall & Create
#259 Pineapple Crown (A&C)
#404 Visual Ingredients (A&C)
black versafine inkpad
black memento inkpad
distress inkpads
Limetree crafts white super smooth 200gsm
Copic markers
black fineliner pen


Challenges:-
As You Like It Challenge Favourite embossing or stencil - I love the versatility of stencils, you can get so many different effects with them.
Simon Says Stamp (Mon) Bright cheerful colours
Lost Coast Designs #120 favourite sentiment or saying 


Thanks for stopping by, stay safe

    It sounds like quite a challenge to create your background but by persevering you ended up with a fabulous base for your fun image - lovely colours.

    I think it looks wonderful Katrina! I've done a few classes with Kate and she always says that it has to get really bad and then the last layer makes it perfect, and you've proved that here! Thank you so much for joining in with our challenge at Lost Coast Designs and have a lovely week, Sue xx
