The theme at step outside your box saturday is "Take Chances, Make Mistakes and Get Messy!!!!" and the theme at 4x4 friday is orange and yellow.
so I decided to mess about with orange and yellow acrylic paints. I then decided to have a go at an acrylic paint image transfer. I am always put off doing this as if (or in my case when) it goes wrong, it's a waste of a perfectly good image. but I decided to take the chance and make mistakes if necessary and I made this. The image is by Inka, the transfer didn't go that well (I just don't have the patience to let it dry!!) but I decided to go with it anyway, highlighting the main image with the ringer stamp, and acrylic paint. I also used a swish stamp and some collage words from Inka.
Oh my gosh, this is really striking.
ReplyDeleteFabulous 4 x 4. Love this.
It is great Joanne, I love the orange and yellow. You do need patience with the acrylic transfers, the number I've messed up because I've started rubbing the paper too soon isn't worth thinking about, lol, but you've rescued this one nicely.
ReplyDeleteits very cool Joanne - real fun colours too!

ReplyDeleteJoanne - it's brilliant! I do hope you're happy with this 4x4 because it works so well. I love Lisa's challenges because they are the toughest I have found so far... they really make you think!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had problems with paint transfers, but I also haven't tried such vivid colours, so thank you for the inspiration.
