New Stamps. Solomon Grundy

Good morning, here I have another sample for the Hot Picks collection. i began by putting all the month stamps onto an acrylic block, mixing up the font sizes. 

These come from HPXT 06. 

I stamped them all over a sheet of tissue paper, when you are doing this just go ahead an do a whole sheet while you have the stamps set up. It will come in handy for other projects. 

I glued my stamped tissue to a tall skinny piece of heavy smoothy. 

I then blended on the new limited edition paints. I used Tangerine Twist, Banana, Southern Skies

Next I stenciled using Snowflake. 

I went over the stencilling with watery Beach Hut, then using various sizes of lids I added circles of Little Black Dress. 

Followed by lines of black using a credit card, and some larger circles in Snowflake, I also used a line stamp from ESN10, just at the edges.  I totally love this background. 

When I hear the days of the week I always think of this ancient nursery rhyme about Solomon Grundy.. Poor guy, he didn't have a great week. I printed this out and cut out the lines and mounted the name on card painted with Bougainvillea and the rest onto black card. 

Then I stamped the days of the week  from HPXT08 onto painted card. 

I mounted these onto white card. 

I glued on the lines from the nursery rhyme.. 

Then I added the days of the week, in alternating colours. 

Here it is all done.. I really like this. it's fun and funky. 

Have a go at creating your own patterned tissue paper to use as a base layer.. and don't be afraid to use these fabulous bold new colours.
