Do You Feel Lucky?

 Hi Everyone

I am sharing another post using Kate Cranes fabulous 'Funky Ducks' stamps I just can't stop playing with these, I love it when you buy something and your mojo is bursting with idea's (I still have more in my head lol). 

As you can see I've turned one of the ducks into a punk adorning him with a fabulous mohican hair style and used the quote that everyone thinks was in the film Dirty Harry, which in fact it wasn't and is probably one of the most misquoted lines, but i've gone with it as everyone thinks it was lol.

The duck I have dressed by paper piecing him from magazine pages to give him more of a punk vibe. He is featured on a 4" x 8.5" MDF tag (That's Crafty). The tag was covered with words that I cut from magazines, once the tag was covered I added a light layer of gesso. I then smeared on red, blue, yellow & black paint. A little bit of stencilling using Kate Cranes Fiesta stencil and the addition of some torn book page and selection of washi tapes. I added the graffiti words of 'Anarchy Rules' to punk it up a bit more! Text was made on my PC and added.

Thanks for stopping by and I'm off to indulge in more Duck play

Love

I Said Duck!!

 Hi Everyone

As a lover of all things Kate Crane I have got my hands on her wonderful new releases for Carabelle Studio and this latest launch doesn't disappoint! 

This piece uses the Adorable 'Funky Ducks' and the background uses Kates Texture Plate 'Flowers & Leaves' along with one of the Mandala Coasters from the 'Mandala Medley' set.

Aren't those ducks fabulous, I stamped them 3 times coloured (coloured pencils) and cut them out and positioned them all in their ducking poses. They do actually curl around and stand proud from the piece so that they actually look like they are bending, sadly the photo doesn't show that. The 2nd design of duck was coloured also with pencils. They have been grounded onto the piece using torn washi tape.

The background has had detail added using the texture plates as stamps but brayering paint onto them and adding random detail to the background. A little bit of mark making with paint adds some further details.

I have created this piece on a That's Crafty 8" x 8" MDF panel and the paints are all my new favourite Rich Chalk Paints also available from That's Crafty. 

Have a great day
Love
