I am getting my groove and finding my way. I am going to post three times this week on my art journey and of course #affirmationTuesday is a separate post all on its own.
I am focusing on Tim Holtz crazy dogs this week and using some of the techniques that I have learned in Creative Chemistry 101 & 102. I have few more classes of 102 and then we will begin 103. We are off schedule as Gigi and I are trying to get our schedules coordinated with summer travels. We did not work on our class last week so I am going to take this opportunity to work in my art journal, and also use some learned techniques from class along with the stamp set crazy dogs.
I was using the NUVO enamel on his nose, so I first stamped in archival black ink and colored him in Copics. I had to let the NUVO black enamel nose dry overnight. This puppy is too cute!
Once his nose was dry, I used distress inks in candied apple, wild honey and mowed lawn to create this background using stencils THS002 Bubble, THS056 Ringer and THS004 Stripes.
I used an old Close to My Heart Stamp set for the sentiment. I added his bone in his mouth because I think this bone is his best friend. He looks so in love. These stamps are so much fun! Well, let me get ready for #affirmationTuesday.
Hope you liked my first puppy!
Super cute! I never thought about using the enamel for a nose! Oh the creativity is endless! Thanks for the inspiration and tip! ��
