Hello Everyone and welcome to a brand new Destination Inspiration Recipe!
Jennie here as your "starter" for the month and without further ado I will share the June recipe chosen by the four Creative Guides who will be sharing their inspiration with you this month:
Tool: Any Tattered Die
Colour: Walnut Stain
Technique: Layering Stencil and Texture Paste
Substrate: Watercolour Paper
And so this is what I put together with these fabulous ingredients.
I started with the Watercolour Paper die cutting a tag but using the reverse (smooth side) of the paper and prepped it by giving it a coat of white gesso.
I added texture paste using the Harlequinn stencil and then added a Walnut Stain Distress Ink here and there, spritzing with water to create a lighter effect. When this was dry I splattered more Walnut Stain and also Black Soot Distress Ink over the tag and added a little light stamping with those fabulous Correspondence stamps.
You can see how giving the tag a coat of gesso allows the ink to sit on the top of the paper, otherwise it would have soaked through into the paper.
My apologies for more of the coneflower stamp! I just LOVE it! This time I used the rough side of the watercolour paper, stamping the flower with Black Arcival and then painting the flower with Walnut Stain. I found a piece of scrap cardstock from the French Industrial Paperstack and for the final layer a piece of cream cardstock stamped with Black Arcival and then inked with Walnut Stain.
Sadly the Walnut Stain didn't stain the ribbon very well (it just looked muddy) so I had to resort to Vintage Photo for the ribbon but the Walnut Stain Distress Ink worked well on the handmade flower using the Tattered Florals Die.
Finally I stamped this wonderful sentiment (perfect for me!) again on the watercolour paper and painted the DREAM with Walnut Stain.
And then it was time to put it all together.
Having the embellishments "overhanging" the tag makes a change from keeping everything inside the tag area.
Thank you for joining me today and do visit again next Monday to see how these same ingredients can be used in a completely different way. And of course we all hope to see your entries in our challenge this month which is CELEBRATIONS!
Have a great week.

ReplyDeleteOh Jennie, this is beyond beautiful!!! I adore that background already, stunning with the subtle splatters etc over the stencilling. The way you have layered it up overhanging the edge of the tag looks wonderful too, and of course the cone flower and your stunning rose with the T F die are the perfect finishing touch. The Vintage Photo ribbon tones in perfectly I think. A brilliant piece to start of this month's recipe!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creation, as Samra says... It is dreamy! Love the textured background and your overhanging embellishments. Nikki x
ReplyDeleteSuperb Jennie! This list of ingredients couldn't have fallen better for you with your beautiful muted soft style and delicate flowers. I love how the layering behind your water coloured flower has come together and contrasts so beautifully with the stencilled background. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteA stunning DI make Jennie. Love all the elements, particularly the background, stamping and stencilling. You have managed to make this harsh colour so soft by using water and I love it.
