Cockadoodledoo........


Good Morning all,

I do hope that your week is going well.......

Today I thought that I would show you another frame that I made last year for Hobby Art......

We were invited to a DT play day with my lovely friend Jenny over at Hobby Art and we all got together at another lovely friends Helen Meighan and we all had a great time......

We all worked on or own projects but Alex Kamann gave us a little copic colouring session and I did the cockerel on a separate piece of card. Alex is fab at colouring and if you ever get chance to do a workshop with her on copics it is worth it.......

The set I used for the make today was Cockadoodledoo:



Anyway this is how I made it.....

I painted another of my cardboard frames with some white gesso drying it between the layers. I used a blending tool with some Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and added some colour to the edges of the frame as shown. I then took the chicken wire stamp from the set and inked it up in my hands with Versafine Black Onyx ( not on an acrylic block as the surface of the frames is not always flat ) and randomly stamped around the frame. I then embossed it with Wow Sparkle Embossing Powder......

For the inside of the frame I cut a piece of black card to fit in the centre of the frame and attached it. I then cut a piece of Anna Marie Dottie Olive Green card to mat on top and then a smaller piece of water colour card to work on......

Using the Cockadoodledoo stamp set I build up and stamped my background scene, I knew that I wanted my cockerel to be the main focal  of the image so I stamped a grounded mound for him to sit on.......

I wanted the background to be muted so I chose to colour it with Watercolour Pencils and built up the colour as I painted it. I cut out the cockerel that I had coloured earlier with my copics ( it was a little bit fiddly on the tail ) and then attached it to the picture with Cosmic Shimmer Glue.....


To finish using a ruler and black fine liner I added a line and dot border around the sides and top and then stamped silhouette checked border along the bottom ........

Well that is all for today my lovelies, I will be back on Saturday. Remember you still have time to enter my Blog Challenge HERE, its really easy this month as anything goes!!

See you soon.....

Hugs Lisa B xx
