The Dancer card

 

Hello

I am back to share my last card for October for Paper Rose Studio.

I wanted to make a special card as this project is also my last project for Paper Rose

As I am leaving the design team.

I wanted to say thank you to all The crew at Paper Rose and to my fellow design team members, 

It has been a fantastic four years!

I have stamped my image onto pastel  paper, I like the Canson Mi-Teintes.

It has a good tooth on the paper for heavy pencil blending.

I have also stamped on a separate piece my flowers 

that I have fussy cut out once coloured

In wanted a dark background and decided to create a spotlight effect by coloring using a lighter colour 

Around the dancer and moving out to darker shades toward the edges of the card base.

It takes a lot of layers to get this effect and the pastel paper holds up well without the layers 

of pencil getting to waxy.

I have used a sentiment from the Uplifting Type pack and added some distress oxide ink in 

Antique Linen so that it wasn’t so stark white against my background.

The flowers are also coloured in using pencils and fussy cut out,

 I have added dots of white paint pen to the centers for contrast.

Supplies used:

27829 Dancer Clear Stamp

18183 Lovely Florals Blossoms Clear Stamp

19432 Uplifting Type Sentiment Pack

Distress Oxide ink- Antique Linen

Bruttfuner pastel pencils

Prismacolor Pencils

Posca white paint pen

Thanks for stopping by,

I will still be around social media and I hope to be spending 

More time doing mixed media projects and drawing.

Bye for now
