Paint Fusion

Previous to our special craft afternoon, the group met for Jane's Project using Sheena Douglass' Ancient Arches rubber stamp set. Pulling out all the stops, Jane led us through the steps:

• rubber stamp the edges of an 8" square card with crackle pattern
• gold heat emboss the feather on a smaller square piece of brown pearlised card
• using three toning distress inks, sponge blobs over an A6 piece of the same brown card
• rubber stamp the arches on top of the rainbow mix
• using a wet paintbrush, streak-lift-off paint in lines where the rays of light would come through the window and land on the pillars (remembering that light travels in a straight line!), and from the little arched window
• paint twinkling Luminarte over the lines to sparkle
• matt the picture onto gold and place onto the brown
• add a banner when ready to personalise
• use Copic pens or similar to colour pearl stones and decorate corners
