My stamp club is thinking about doing a Skinny swap, so I used the Theme Thursday challenge to make a sample to show everyone. I did a back to it, thinking I could submit it to the new Simply Skinnies challenge, but the theme there is AIR travel, not just travel, duh. Guess I need to read things better! Oh well, I got to play around and it was fun.
Both pages use the peeled paper technique, but each goes a different direction after that. For the birds I added Shabby Shutters and Worn Lipstick Distress ink and gessoed over that. For the Venezia piece I did a lot of sanding, a bit of gesso, and inked it with Brushed Corduroy, Spiced Marmalade, and Fired Brick Distress ink.
Both the Bird stamps and Venezia stamps are from Oxford Impressions. Don't forget, you still have time to enter your artwork for the Design Team search!
both of these are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWow these are really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work.
gorgeous!
ReplyDelete(and birds travel by air don't they??)
Shelly - love both of your skinnies.... I think you can submit the bird - you took a vacation Bird Watching and don't you think birds go on vacation??? They fly south right????
ReplyDeleteI love both of these skinnies. Birds are light and suttle and the travel is dark and royal. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skinnies! Both are so gorgeous. I love the colors in the top one because they are such soft and wonderful colors. I like the color depth of the lower one because it looks mysterious and some travel is an adventure and somewhat mysterious.
ReplyDeleteThese are both fabulous, Shelly. Hmmm... the bird one could fit air travel :-))
ReplyDeleteOh, I started with the soft and lovely bird related piece then made my way downwards to find a rich and beautiful piece. Love the juxtaposition of the two.
