Layout 6 You Inspire Me

 Layout 6 You Inspire Me

Left Detail

 For the Grey background I smeared on home-made gesso (baking soda based) mixed with ashes with a plastic card and then scraped it off after the color of the ashes stained the paper.

I created the angel wings by tracing a necklace I have from sammydress.com (here) with a pencil and then just painting them using deco art acrylics.

Right Detail

The flames are made with a stencil and home-made gesso (baking soda based) mixed with CTMH Re-Inker in sky.

The mini Ledger stencil was used to create the above by mixing home-made gesso (baking soda based) with CTMH Re-inker in Denim.

Above: Home-made gesso mixed with ashes and extra white glue shaped freehand into a heart & random splotches pressed on with a plastic card to create this charcoal/concrete effect.
