I made this arch for no particular reason at all. I had this girl stamp (heather) from Inka to use. As she has an umbrella the piece need a rain theme, so I decided to make a rainbow background from distress inks. I did start with a long quote which I liked
"Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colours appear" but it looked cluttered with all that on. So I just went with the single word, and actually I think that says it all.
I chose an arch shape as I wanted it to look like she was standing in front of a window, but also because I'd had an idea. I've been sent lots of lovely arches, 4x4s etc. basically non free-standing pieces and I like to display them, and then I saw a card embellished with a binder clip in a magazine, and I just wondered, if it would be able to support a piece enough to make it free-standing.. and it does!
I have also used Inkas vine background stamp which I have stamped in black and embossed with siler pearl - just to see what happened.
thats awesome, great colors and I love the black outline.
ReplyDeleteMost charming piece, and I love reading how you created it. Great rainbow background.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Joanne, the background is gorgeous and really makes the piece.
ReplyDeleteLove that composition. Very gentle.
ReplyDelete(I always just atach a triangle of card to backs of arches but using a clip is a clever way of displaying)
Very clever, Joanne...love your use of Heather in the arch...beautiful!
