Morning all,
Not sure if I was thinking of my allotment when I made this page... seems like the first time this year I've managed to get over there, and it's daunting how quickly weeds grow! And I feel just like 'Percy', with his arms crossed in a huff!
My page started with some Decoart Media fluid Acrylics, I dabbled and mixed some colours on a palette, so there is orange, white, teal, titan buff, more white.. and a bit of red..
I then stamped some background stamps from Indigoblu, tasty textures set, with different colour stazon in first and second gen stamping. Next was the Laurel Leaves stencil with a faber castell pitt pen to do the leaves all the way round the page. It took a while but I love the effect.
Extra stamping in white paint was done with Kate Crane's lovely spiral stamp a friend bought me at Kate's class a couple of weeks back, and some old lids to make rings. I then doodled in places on the page around white bits.
'Percy' is by the lovely Lindsay Mason, he's a digi stamp available in Lindsay's Etsy Store, and I absolutely love him. He is coloured with Prismacolour pencils and cut out, then glued to my page and lightly pencilled round to ground him.
This is my first piece for Lindsay on her fab Design Team, I hope you like it. Here are a couple of closer pics. The moth was one Kate printed for us in her class, I had a few so cut him out and added him here. Although all I had today at the allotment was cabbage white butterflies...!
You can see more of Lindsay's design's in her store, and on her blog.
Have a good day all,
Best Wishes,
Nikki. xx

Love this Nikki and I can really relate to the jungle...my garden is a complete, neglected mess at the moment and I, too, feel like Percy...completely unable to get to grips with it! Thank you for sharing this great DT piece!
