Stampotique- Textured Backgrounds


My go to background effect is created with Modelling paste and stencils; I used a variety of Stencils CWS Mini Layered Beads, Mr Heuys Circle Graph and Splodgeaway Retro Circle
I applied the DecoArt modelling paste through the stencils and also textured other areas with just the palette knife and also wiping away areas with a baby wipe to add more effects
I also like to stamp into the modelling paste, this can be done when its first applied but won’t be as clear more textural
If you want the stamp to read best to let it set a little, I use Stampotique Row of Faces vertically as I wanted them to read as flowers
The colours are Dylusions sprays and then highlighted with DecoArt Metallic Lustres, Iced Espresso, Gold Rush and Champagne my favourite! :)

  1. I would almost certainly have missed your stamping had you not mentioned it, Jools! And how clever to use "The Row of Faces" stamp vertically. There is a lot of texture provided by the modeling paste and stencils, but color also adds a lot of interest to this amazing background, as well. Brilliantly done, Jools! So glad that you are here again this week to accept the Stampotique Designers' Challenge!!
