Hey everyone hope you all have had a beautiful May!!
We've had lots of sunshine and flowers popping out,birds returning,grass growing like crazy! Ahhh! Welcome back Spring!!
Today I want to share a piece I made,inspired by all the above,using my DecoArt products and Gecko Galz digital stamp
1.Using recycled packaging cardboard,cover completely with Gesso
2.Paint layer of Pyrrole Red
3.While still damp add drops of Primary Yellow spread out over Pyrrole Red
4.After thoroughly dry,coat with generous layer of Weathered Wood
5.While sticky to the touch,paint layer of Yellow Oxide
6.Add small amount of Glazing to Cobalt Turquoise Hue and a few drops of water,brush this over previous layer of Yellow Oxide
7.With babywipe,wipe back some of Cobalt Turquoise Hue-till desired look is achieved.
8.Let dry slightly,then add another generous layer of Weathered Wood
9.When thoroughly dry,add 2 heavy coats of Triple Thick Gloss
1. Print out Gecko Galz background stamp
2.Fussy cut around left side of stamp
3.Crumple up paper and ink high spots with a dark brown color
3a.Smooth back out (I ironed mine)
Next I used my DecoArt acrylics as watercolors by adding various amounts water to each color
4.Paint in poppy with Pyrrole Red
5.Paint poppy center with Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide
6.Paint leaves and stems with Green Gold and light details of Viridian Green Hue
7.Make a wash with Transparent Yellow Iron Oxide and water and cover background of stamp
8.Adhere painted piece to background substrate
9.Cover with recycle clear plastic from recycled packaging
10.Use matching tape folded around edges to secure
I hope I have inspired you to create something beautiful today!

Gorgeous Poppies Jackie :) love the weather would look.
The crackle is simply amazing in this Jackie! I admire your attention to detail in this! Enjoy the last day of May! Gosh, the months go by so fast!
Gorgeous, Jackie! You do the coolest things with vivid colors! This background is awesome. I LOVE the deep crackles. The colorized stamp you've done with that beautiful poppy looks amazing! Love the text-ish background of the stamp and how you've given the poppy such a vibrant red color. It really pops against the cream and blue background colors. Loved your inspiration photos, too. Don't you just love the coming of summer with all of the beautiful flowering plants??
What a gorgeous piece, Jackie - your colour ALWAYS rocks my world. Many thanks for this!!!
Oh my goodness - your mega crackle is fabulously weathered, and the poppies just sing! The colours are wonderful as always, and it's so lovely to see the inspiration you found in your garden. Gorgeous post!
