GCASAH....Can you work that out?

Good Afternoon all
Well it's been ages since I blogged but life was just so busy and my blog just had to wait. But now I have a little more time on my hands so I thought I would start it up again! I don't think I will be blogging every day but we will see what happens.
Have you worked out the title yet?
Get Crafting And Stay At Home. Good advice I think if we are to beat this virus and save lives. That's what its all about. So I thought I would share with you a project and do a step by step of how it is made.

So here's the Project




It is done with the City of London stencil by Claritystamp and was on Hochanda TV on March 11th with Maria. I did a sample similar to this but on black card stock instead of the Kraft card.

Any way here is how I did it.

Get the stencil, Kraft card, a sponge and white gesso.

Cut the piece of Kraft card to 7"x7" and attach the stencil to it with low tack tape and sponge the gesso through the stencil.

Check you have enough gesso and add more if needed. 



Leave to dry.

Once completely dry use blendable pencils (I used my cheap ones) and dorso oil on a blending nib to add colour to the white gesso areas. Don't do it all.




Trim the edges of the Kraft card then mat onto dark brown card then onto a Kraft card blank. Add a sentiment sticker.
Here is the black card version ....slightly different colours in the sky.

I hope you like the project. If you have a go plese let me see your work but all I ask is that you give me some credit for the inspiration.

Please let me know here what you think.

Stay safe and craft away.

Lots of Love xxx

  4. Wonderful Jane. I haven't got this stencil but could use another one. Think I need to visit my blog again, it has been neglected. Your title is very apt. xx
