Ruby Tangerine

Hello!
Another 'challenge myself' project today...create a project that looks really colourful but has a minimal colour palette. I chose to use just two colours, red and orange, alongside black and white. Both paints from Dina Wakely, Ruby and Tangerine....

I used my 'go to' technique of the moment to create the background...smearing paint. Watch this space for a smearing tutorial video....this weeks challenge for myself is to finally get into the video tutorial field!!
Anyway....smeared paint, with a brayered layer of white to take the edge off the colour, as otherwise the figure won't 'pop' enough from the background. A little collage stamping...

The figure is created using Stampotique stamps...hearts in two sizes, and a quirky face...

I added a halo effect using red Prima wired thread. Fab stuff, gorgeous colours and keeps its shape wonderfully...

As is usual with my projects, it wouldn't be finished without a random bit of book text..

Hope you like her!
