This piece is inspired by Ellen Vargo who was GD this symester Paper Artsy Blog and this week she did some abstract art using a brayer to lay down paint.
I started with a postcard sized piece of card and loaded the brayer with Toad Hall Fresco Finish, then went in with Baltic Blue and finally Bora Bora. I then went over with Beach Hut through a circles template, then Limelight through a leaves stencil. I then used Grunge Paste through a harlequin stencil.
I then stamped the "dots" on ESN08 randomly in the hand with Teal Blue Stazon, and followed this with stamping the words from HP1006 in Deep Lagoon Versafine.
I then wafted some of the limelight over the GP and then highlighted it with Aquamarine TG.
At this point I realised I had stamped the text upside down, so I turned it round :) !
I stamped the flower and the moth in Crimson Red Versafine on white card and cut these out before attaching them to the base.

This is really great Jax! Fab stencilling and love the 'wafted' Limelight on the Harlequin stencil. Lovely choice of stencils, stamps and colour.

Lovely project! Love the colours you've used and that stencil too! X
Fab colour choices jax, I do think toad hall is an underused colour,it's good to see it being used.
Am impressed by your wafting & love the description of how you applied your paint so delicately:-)
Stunning colours, beautiful blending of paints, layers & textures, so much to see & enjoy.
Flowers & moth look amazing using contrasting colour, just the right amount of pop :-) x
Fabulous colours combo and textures.
Love it Jax, there's nothing quite like paint to add some depth and strength to a piece
