The theme for May 2020 Mission Inspiration is Flights of Fancy and the word prompts are Gnome, Dragons, Dream, Elves and Rainbow. The three colours to be used this month are Earth, Moss and Sea. As you can see, I used Elves and a rainbow on my page, working in my leather bound journal with handmade paper pages.
I tried some paper piecing as an alternative to colouring. I love the mermaid tail which is part of the Dee's Friends A4 (and A5) Faith stamp set. I started off small, testing the technique with a tag.
I found a way to use one of the Dee's Friends characters without doing a great deal of colouring as I am still not too confident with my technique. A clean and simple romantic card, but spot the OOPS!
I am still not the world's greatest colourist, especially of people, but I can't stop practising lol. For this piece, I used the Brave stamp set, designed by Dee Fitzsimmons for Clarity on a collaged background.
This is the first of the samples that I made using stencils designed by Leonie Pujol for Claritystamp. Even though the new circus stencils are 9" in diameter, small areas can be picked out and used in combination with previous releases. I had another play with my Distress Oxide sprays too!
I often use a tag to try out new products and techniques. As one of the prompts on this month's challenge over on Tag It Tuesday is 'Use Spray Inks', I decided to try out a couple of the new Distress Oxide sprays. Each month there are four prompts and at least two have to be used. The additional prompts this month were 'Put a leaf on it', 'Draw, paint or write using your non dominant hand' and 'Green'. I used all four prompts.
