Rainbows!

This week's theme at Use Your Craft Stash is Rainbows - quite apt at the moment. This is my finished piece.

Wasn't sure what I was going to do at first, but then I thought about my Brushos that have only ever had one outing in all the time I've had them. 

I did have a rootle around on the Internet, and decided to start with a rainbow across a piece of watercolour card.  I got another piece of card and marked it into 6 sections - one for each of the colours. I sprinkled each colour at a time and sprayed it. 

Once it was dry, I stuck it onto a piece of greyboard to flatten it out. I then stamped around the edge with Imagination Crafts Art Stamps (from various Texture sets) and Smokey Gray Versafine.

I wanted to mount this onto a canvas, so decided to paint that with a rainbow too. I marked out the sections diagonally and used Imagination Crafts Starlight Paints.

     

  

I felt it was a bit too bright for what I wanted, so I went over the whole thing with a thin layer of Gesso, and then stamped around the edges as before.

Originally, I was going to stamp a sentiment onto the watercolour card, but felt it was too large for what I wanted, so I created another, smaller piece. This time, I put all the colours on in one go and sprayed over the whole piece.

This was stuck onto more greyboard, and the edges stamped as before. The sentiment is from Visible Image - Stay Strong, stamped with Onyx Black Versafine.

Both of the Brusho pieces were mounted on black card, and all three were edged with Onyx Black Versafine before assembling. The final touch was to add some gems (the suggestion of one of my good crafty friends). These ones have been in my stash for ever!
