Welcome to my I ♥ PROMARKERS Challenge DT post, we've another fun challenge for you today, along with an awesome sponsor.
Our Challenge Theme is 'Paper Piecing'
we are sponsored by
Here's my creation;
I used the gorgeous Mermaid image by Kenny K for my project.
My project started off with an 8 x 8 canvas, to which I added some Faber-Castell Gelatos, I then seal it with a layer of Matt Gel Medium, as I'd applied the Gelatos quite heavily and didn't want the colour to smudge. Once that was dry I added a thin layer of Gesso, I used a baby wipe to spread the Gesso around until i was happy with the coverage and effect.
The next stage was to print out my digital papers and images. My paper are from a set called Summer Tropical by Frou Frou Crafts. My background elements came from a digital stamp set called Make a Scene - Under the Sea (Retired) by AmberInk. I printed the patterned papers and then put the papers back through the printer to print the digital stamps.
I then coloured the mermaid, and added the paper pieced elements to her, before adding some final shading with a neutral grey Promarker to tie the whole image together. After adding some shading to the background elements I cut them them and then layered them onto the canvas using Matt Gel Medium to adhere them and seal them, I then added the Mermaid.
To finish the canvas I added some raindrop/bubble gems to the background to add an extra texture and give the impression of bubbles and movement in the water.
I hope you like my project, and feel inspired to join in our challenge. Remember to hop over to the
