Hi friends! I’m back with more inspiration featuring the Simon Hurley Create release with Ranger Ink. Today I’m using more Lunar Paste but doubling up on colors using the same stencil.
When I do things like this, I spread the first color out and scrape as much excess off as I can, then I come in with the second color mixing them a little where they meet. It’s so cool if they are complimentary or opposing. They don’t mix into a new color but meld and swirl without combining.
After stenciling, I set the panel aside to dry and stamped a fun giraffe from the Wild About You set. I used brown for my base and layered yellow, orange and brown for my accent colors. It was a complete experiment as I’d never done that before. I just inked the yellow, stamped, then inked the orange and dabbed it away so it was a light layer, stamped and repeated that thought with light brown. I love the color it made!
After die cutting the giraffe, I cut a circle from vellum and heat embossed my sentiment. Then I trimmed the stenciled panel to 4×5.25 and popped it up on a white card base. I added foam to the giraffe but thought he needed grounding so I added a 1/4″ strip of black which balances things nicely.
Last, I trimmed the top off the vellum circle and then hid glue behind the words and glued it in place.
