'Post Card From India.'

Hi there Lovelies,

Hope you are all well.  Today I would like to share one of my cards made using one of Imagination Craft's beautiful collections - 'Glorious Women.'   I have used stamps, rice paper and one of the stencils from the collection.   I have also used  Cadence paints and sculpture paste.

 Cut a seven and a half inch square of white card.   Cut out the section of rice paper with the birds and flowers etc.,   on it, cutting it slightly larger than the square of white card.    Using a paintbrush and water, wet around a section of the rice paper below the two  birds, then gently pull away from the rest of the paper, leaving a pretty feathered edge.

Lay the ice paper onto the piece of white card and lightly draw a pencil line where the feathered edge will be, when it is glued to the card.   

Using the Cadence Acrylic paints, pure white and light yellow, mix them together to create a lighter shade and paint just below the pencil line.

 

Using the decoupage glue, fix the rice paper to the piece of  card so that the paint shows below the rice paper, bending the top, the left and right-hand edges of the rice paper to the back of the card, using the glue to secure it to the card.   Leave this to dry.

 

Using both sizes of the mandala from the stencil, stipple the Dora black metallic paint through the designs in four places around the edge of the card.   

 Lay the words 'Post'   'Card' from the stencil, onto the painted part of the card and spread some white sculpture paste over them, using a metal spatula.   Leave image to dry.

 Place the stencil back in position over the words and stipple some Dora amethyst metallic paint on top of the sculpture paste using a stencil brush.   

When that is dry, rub a small amount of the Inca Gold finger wax over the top of the amethyst, adding a tiny amount of the watered down gold finger wax to the breasts of the the birds.

Matt this card onto an 8"x8" white base card.   From the second sheet of the same design rice paper, roughly cut out the flowers and the birds on the branch and glue them to a spare piece of white card, using decoupage glue.   When dry, cut them out adding some watered down gold finger wax to the breasts of the birds.  

Shape them a little with your fingers then, fix these to the original images on the base card using silicone glue.

Well that's all from me for the moment my Lovelies, I will be back soon with another card, made using this same collection.   Take good care of yourselves and stay safe.
