I've often admired the fab backgrounds that Kate Crane incorporates into her artwork, and this weeks Stampotique Challenge was the perfect time to give it a go! Inspired by this piece of Kate's, I set out to create my background using the Gelli Arts Plate, Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paint, some Punchanella and a Chicken Wire Stencil.
Because I wanted to add color to the stamped image (as shown above), I stamped and masked the image on watercolor paper, before I added the Mono Printing using the Gelli Arts Plate. Here's a picture of how the project looked, once I removed my masked image and added the Mono Printing.
