'Rising From The Ashes' (Foto Demo)

I had some plastic lenticular/holographic sheets which were hard to put ink onto so I scanned it & printed it out instead...

I then selected my Sweet Poppy Phoenix Stencil, a magnetic sheet (for keeping the stencil in place), Versafine Clair Ink 'Nocturne' & a Smoothie...

Using Low Tack Tape, I then masked around the edges of the stencil to stop ink getting onto my background whist inking thru the stencil....

I then took a smoothie and dabbed the Versafine Clair Ink into all the gaps in the Stencil.....

After filling in all the gaps in the stencil, I removed the masking tape....

I carefully lifted off the stencil to reveal the Phoenix...

I then used the smoothie to blend the ink around the edges of the background to pull everything together & then added some mats & layers to create a nice border around my work...

Next I created a small plaque with the Motto 'Believe' stamped on it using the Lavinia stamp LAV271, Brilliance Archival Ink 'Moonlight White', Distress Oxide Inks 'Wild Honey & Barn Door'....
