little princess cards

I think these are my grungiest creations ever.
I just spent ages layering acrylic paint until I just reached the point where I liked how it looked. Again, as has happened several times now, it is only when I cut it up that it takes on a whole new look, and each piece is quite different....

This was yet another acrylic painting that overall I was not happy with, but rather than bin it I decided to cut it up and collage the pieces to emphasise the bits I did like.
I do like the colours of red, coral and gold with swooshes of white brushed over the top for a bit of movement....

A super quick post showing one of my Gelli prints to which I added more pattern with two stencils.
I chose contrasting designs and colours for a bit more impact.
The Gelli prints make a really good base to add more pattern, and I have used acrylic paint to add the stencil designs....

Back in my craft room again. this time the absence has largely been due to the extreme heat but thankfully things have finally cooled down.
I have been practising with acrylic paints using some of my A4 Gelli prints as a base and then adding even more paint and pattern....
