This is my sample for today's TLC challenge ~ TLC509 Layered Die-Cuts
I pretty much used the layered gesso background tutorial for my base, with the added twist that when it came to adding some stencilling, I used glitter ~ see the Glittered Stencilling tutorial here.
Gessoed my base, stamped French Script. Added cream, green and blue acrylic paints, smooshing them in with my fingers. I stamped the sentiment, and then laid the stencil down so that the smallest circles would be where my flower head was going to be. I used clear modelling paste and sprinkled glitters on.
When dry, I stamped the grasses with Forest Moss distress ink and sponged the edges with Walnut Stain.
The bunny is sponged with distress inks. For the flower stem, it's diecut from a scrap from my box of various backgrounds, and coated with several layers of clear EP. I added Iridescent Ice to the flower head only for the last layer.
I have a lovely one with glitter as a reject in my scrap box, because the glitter just merged in too much with the background.
Have fun playing along today.

Tripple wow on this card, Sabrina. You are the queen of really cool bkg techniques. The glitter and the big flower look so good with the little bunny. You also have the most awesome sentiments. Just amazing work of art...so creative.

Beautifully done - and thanks so much for explaining how you did the background. It's a huge help for someone like me who is trying to learn to do more mixed media.
