Good Friends

I love these quirky characters designed by Barbara Gray of Clarity Crafts.  Here I used one of the Evelyn stamps.

Stamp the larger Evelyn stamp onto a piece of super smooth paper in Jet Black Archival ink.

Add a couple of the sentiments from the same set likewise and draw a double line around them with a micron pen as a base for her to stand on.

Colour the image using Faber Castell Polychromos (dress, hat, flower and frame #111 – Spring, #117 – Autumn, #156 – Summer, face and hands #132 / #102– Essential, #131 / #172 Winter).

Fussy cut the image.

I chose the colours to match a background that I had created on the Acrylic Paint workshop. It was trimmed to 10cm wide.

I added the image with Pritt stick and used a baren to press it in place.

Next, I went round the edges with #232 / #181 (Essential set) to make the image stand out against the background.

I added a piece of Indian Summer companion paper (5.5” x 4”) to the front of a 6” x 6” white card blank.

To finish, I trimmed the topper to 5” tall and added it to the card.
