Stampotique Spotlight Challenge

Tangled Enthusiasm never wanted to be in the spotlight!
But since he was, he had exactly 4 seconds to break the Houdini record!

I'm so pleased to be asked back as guest DT for the wonderful Stampotique Stamps and to take part in Arwen’s Spotlight Challenge

Mine is quite literally a take on this, I started by drawing a triangle and used a plate to create the curved ellipse base
Painted with DecoArt Titanium white shaded towards the outer edge with graduating greys adding Carbon black and highlighted in the centre with Cadmium yellow and white to create the Spotlight beam

I created a mask the same shape and also the negative, mixed a light grey and stamped DT heads in the spotlight
Mixed a darker grey and masked the spotlight and stamped the background to create the audience

Tangled Enthusiasm was stamped onto card and coloured with Distress Inks Rusty Hinge, Aged Mahogany, Crushed Olive and Black Soot

Thank you for popping by, and we look forward to seeing your creations
