Visible Image Stamps and Stencils, Pebeo Acrylic paint, Cosmic Shimmer Translucent Paste & Versafine Ink.

Hello,

It's Fabulous Friday, and I'm here to share a project I've made, using some awesome Visible Image products. You may have seen that it was Mark Alexander's 50th Birthday a few days ago, he is the owner and designer of Visible Image Stamps Ltd., this is the canvas/plaque/card I made for him.

Mark's favourite film is Stephen Kings 'IT', and it was the inspiration for his Destination Unknown stamp set, so I had to use it, I also used the fabulous Alphabetical for the numbers and Mark, the Go To Words for Happy Birthday, and I also used the Fibres stencil.

The background is a canvas, which I primed with some white gesso, then using my brayer. and some acrylic paints, I randomly added some colour to the canvas, when it was dry I placed the stencil over the top, and added some translucent paste through it with a palette knife, again leave to dry. I then highlighted some of the stencil marks with a white pen, and other parts with some florescent green paint, I added some micro beads here and there.

On a separate piece of card, I stamped the boats, each size 3 times, I also stamped the sentiments, numbers and name too, using Versafine Black ink. I fussy cut everything, decoupaging the boats, gluing them all to the canvas where I wanted them to sit, with some 3D glue gel. When it was all dry, I put some extra thick white paste under each boat, and in other random places, and sprinkled glitter on it whilst it was still wet. I then mounted it onto some black and white mount board. To finish it, I cut out a balloon shape, coloured it red, added some glossy accents, and put some highlights on it. And of course I had to add the trade-mark Clowns sinister nose & smile to it too !!!!
