This is how it started out after a layer of Brusho sprays and acrylic paint.
Then I decided to take some stamps and permanent ink and make some stamped tissue paper for collage.
I already knew that when you apply it to your artwork the tissue disappears into the background leaving the background showing through behind your stamped image but I hadn't used it before and I wasn't ready for how excited it made me feel... lol.
This is how it looks up to now.
This year I plucked up the nerve to join in a few challenges and as a result have acquired some new followers and exchanged comments with lots of lovely like-minded people around the world and as as result my confidence in my artwork has grown. I have had some lovely comments over the past few weeks, months in fact, which have made me feel all warm and ' fuzzie' inside lol!! I do appreciate and welcome all your comments.
I am linking this post to Paint Party Friday.
Thanks for visiting. x

Every time I apply ink to a canvas I get really excited and scared too, it's a great feeling isn't it. The tissue paper sounds like a great thing to try as it looks fabulous on your canvas. The colours are fab, I can't wait to see how it turns out.

ReplyDeleteReally lovely color scheme Fuzzie. It is so exciting to have all one's creative juices flowing and be in the middle of an artwork isn't it? Might also try working with this tissue paper idea. Thanks for the inspiration! Happy PPF
Thanks for your comment, Fuzzie - so glad you liked the tour of the students' work. I can't get over how talented young people are these days. The teacher was amazing and obviously so dedicated to his vocation, and buzzing with enthusiasm over his pupils!
