I seriously cannot tell you how excited I am to be introducing our December Guest Designer... LOUISE NELSON!!!
Her work has always blown me away, and where in the past I've asked card makers and scene stampers to be a guest, I thought it was time to get a mixed media/scrapbooker in here! And... I got the best!!
You can find Louise in the following places:
Blog: an Uninterrupted view

and here's a bit about her "I
have always had creative hobbies, before taking up scrapbooking 6 years
ago I loved to restore furniture. Since I have started scrapbooking I
have also devloped a love for portrait photography, and more recently I
have begun to dabble in painting. During the last 6 years I have been
fortunate to have been a Creative Design Team member for Scrapbooking
Memories Magazine [AUS] in 2009 and currently a Scrapbooking Memories
Master for 2011-12. Also fortunate to be invited to be on the Creative
Design Team for UK based scrapbooking magazine; Scrap365. Currently I
create for Aussie Scrap Source, Jenni Bowlin Studio, Imaginarium
Designs, Tattered Angels and 7 Dots Studio. I have been blessed to be
published in Scrapbooking Memories [AUS], and have also been featured in
the last 4 editions of Somerset Memories, with technique articles and
layouts in the reader gallery. I am so honoured that DeeDee asked me to
contribute this month to your wonderful inspiring blog; thank you so
very much for allowing me to share my stampy scrappy passion."
Now.. onto the work:
Materials list:
12 x 12 grey board - Imaginarium Designs
Impasto
Krylon spray gesso
Tattered Angels Chalkboard Glimmer Mist
Prima Metal Trinkets
Green Tara Leaves
Indian ink
Cotton Thread
To achieve the background Louise says she applied a thick layer of impasto to the background, stamped the image in to it, and then gave it a final coat of spray gesso.
Leave her some love and let her know what you think :)
Fantastic work! love it
ReplyDeleteToday's project is GORGEOUS!! I love all the texture and layering. Thanks for the new technique of stamping into gesso...I'm off to try it out!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love that impasto technique!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fantastic technique. I tried it once on the cover of an altered book, and I was in love. Never tried it with a crackle stamp. Great idea. I need to try that one now. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely beautiful.
