I used a stencil in the background that was misted with water and blotted to create some texture, torn paper and a light ink to ground the tree and some coloured enamel dots for the tree.

Sweet Poppy Stencils

Hi there Lovelies, hope you’re enjoying this beautiful warm sunny weather, it’s about time!

I’m sharing with you today some samples I’ve made using this gorgeous Flamingo.

I’ve used a Gelli print background and translucent paste which I left to dry and then hot foiled through a laminator, the stamped sentiment is also from the “Seasons” set by Sweet Poppy.


Another Gelli print background, I stamped subtly using another stamp from the Seasons set and this time I used “Expand it” through the stencil, it’s a unique product, once applied you heat it with heat tool and it bubbles and bobbles, it’s cool, unfortunately it lost the pretty filigree pattern but I thought it looked fab still, once I’d got the effect I wanted I then brushed it with Sweet Poppy Mica powders, mounted onto a canvas that I’d previously coloured and added Gilding wax.

Here’s a large MDF circle which I Gessoed and painted with Sweet Poppy shimmer paints applied very randomly with a blending tool, I inked through the Stencils and with the flamingo I used translucent paste and micro beads.

White pigment ink through stencil then I used the gorgeous pastel pearlescent pastes.

Gelli print background, white pearlescent paste then Sweet Poppy glitters while wet.

Lucy will be on Hochanda later this month, be sure to tune in.
All available to buy here
