I've been practicing faces and I'm getting better at the eyes but when I get to hair and cheeks... they go down hill fast. I was practicing today and every time I looked at the face I had drawn it reminded me of a sun painting.... so I went with it.
The sun is a gelli print using yellow and orange. I free handed a ray and then just traced it around the face. Then I stamp the script with pumpkin Stazon. I also stamped the rays with a swirl from Clear Snap. I wanted it to be shiny so I got out my Perfect Pearls which have been in a drawer for at least 5 years. It fun to use things I've had forever.
The blue background is also a gelli print. Jet's Pizza puts plastic coated corrugated cardboard under their pizza. I have no shame.... I asked for a clean piece and they gladly gave it to me. I love it... It makes wonderful stripes. The word Celebrate is a Hero Arts stamps and the other words are again from Clear Snap. The dancing person is an ERA stamp.
