'Russian Dolls.'

 Hello there Lovelies,

Hope you have all enjoyed your Bank Holiday weekend, despite the dull damp weather lol!   Thank you for your lovely comments and all your visits to my last blog, each and everyone, much appreciated by me.   I have another card for you, made using the 'Glorious Women' collection by Imagination Crafts.   I have used the gorgeous rice paper and stencil from the collection and Cadence gold relief paste, finger wax, decoupage glue,  metallic paint, Acrylic paint and  Rose pink and Light purple colour mists.   Apologies for the shape of the card in the photo, I can assure you, it is a square card lol!    I no longer have the card so I cannot take another photo of it.

Begin by cutting a seven inch square of white card.   Cut out the section of rice paper with the Russian Dolls on, cutting it slightly larger than the white seven inch piece of card.   Add some water with a brush, around the top of the design, ie;  around the trees, building and  tree branch and feather the edges by gently pulling away the paper above the trees etc.,  as the photo below.

Colour the top edge of  the card where there will be no rice paper with the  Rose pink and Light purple Colour Mists.   Using the White Acrylic paint, spatter some dots of paint from a toothbrush, by flicking the bristles over the coloured sky.

Using the decoupage glue, fix the rice paper to the piece of card, bending the other three edges to the back of the card  and secure using decoupage glue.   Add some Inca Gold Finger Wax to the edges of the background card.

Add a little gold finger wax to the building behind the fir trees.

Lay the building from the stencil onto the right-hand edge of the background card and using a metal spatula, spread the Cadence Gold Dora Perla Relief Paste over the image.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.   This paste sounds crunchy when you spread it and it gives a fabulous risen texture to your card.   Just love that crunchy sound...very satisfying lol!

Do not worry that the relief paste will cover over the largest doll, as this will be covered with a decoupaged image of her later.

Lay the script from the stencil on the left-hand side of the background card  and spread the gold relief paste over the script, again using a metal spatula.   Remove the stencil and leave the image to dry.

From the second sheet of the same design rice paper,  cut out the three dolls and glue them to some spare white card, using the decoupage glue.   When dry, cut them out, cutting away any excess white card.

Fix the dolls to the original images on the background card using sticky foam pads or silicone glue.   Add a little Versafine  ink from the Majestic blue ink pad around the edges,  alongside the gold finger  wax.

 Add some Dora  Rich Gold metallic paint to the dolls.   Glue this background card to the 8" white  base card and the card is finished.   Hope you like it.   

                              

                                     

Well that's all from me for the moment, I'm busy working on  samples for the next shows coming up very soon........another super collection, which I'm sure you will all like,  I know I'm having fun playing with it lol!    Catch you all again very soon.   Take care of yourselves and stay safe.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,
