Put A Bug On It

I'm sharing  a postcard with you today that I've made for the Stampotique Designers Challenge, the theme is Put A Bug On It.


I used a stencil with some modelling paste and when this was dry I painted it with gesso, the colour underneath is from the postcard.


I added some colour with acrylic paints.


I used acrylic ink to add more colour by adding some different colour inks and spraying them with water.


I stamped the Stampotique bees onto card, coloured them and cut them out. I added some stickles to the wings. I glued them to the card along with the quote [PaperArtsy].


Thank you for looking.
xxx Hazel.
