Soar

Stamping artist Debbie Hughes always has such great ideas for applying color.  Her latest involves applying several layers of light color, drying between layers, and then inserting the panel into a 3D embossing folder . . .

 

To emphasize the embossed pattern, I dragged a white pigment pad over the raised design and then spattered with a little watered-down gouache.  I decided to sprinkle on a little glitter on the background and a bit on the butterfly.

 My results are nowhere near as pretty as hers, but I'm happy with the technique nonetheless and I look forward to trying out many versions of this idea.
