Yellow is a color which brings to mind the life! In this challenge I wanted to bring out the most colorful part of me, my second soul after that vintage \/ grunge. \u00a0To do this I used my new gelatos on a small canvas, and it was really fun.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2178copia\"<\/p>\n

At the heart of this explosive yellow I put another one of my favorite symbols: butterflies. \u00a0So many all together are wonderful and give an idea of freedom, a freedom that colors everything, even outside the canvas!<\/p>\n

\"Tutyellow1\"<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0photo above\u00a0you can see the materials that I used for my project: gesso, palette knife, canvas ( 4 x 4 inch) and gelatos. I have stretched out the gesso with palette knife and then I flecked very light with fingers to create a texture different from the usual.<\/p>\n

\"Yellow<\/p>\n

This is the result.<\/p>\n

\"Yellow<\/p>\n

After adjusting the color with the brush wet and gelatos until I got the intensity I wanted, I have prepared with acetate from various recycled packaging, a stencil with Tim Holtz’s die “Butterfly frenzy”.<\/p>\n

\"tutyellow2\"<\/p>\n

I’ ve placed it diagonally on the canvas, and\u00a0I used Wendy Vecchi’s embossing paste white to create thickness and texture.<\/p>\n

\"Yellow<\/p>\n

To color my little butterflies I used Distress Paints in gradation, starting with the lightest color on the left and increasing the gradation from orange to purple to the right.<\/p>\n

\"tutyellow3\"
\u00a0I liked to give some movement to the acrylic color and so I thought I’d use the Faber-Castell Gelato on white texture created with the embossing paste.\u00a0 This “trick” has given the project a nice three-dimensionality.<\/p>\n

\"tutyellow4\"<\/p>\n

After cutting the acetate to create the stencil, I found myself with a large number of butterflies that I was sorry to leave unused. I thought I would use them to create a nice background to the picture of the project, with the possibility of using them in the future.<\/p>\n

With the distress paints in shades yellow \/ green and orange \/ pink I colored the butterflies and then I finish them using the Glossy accent.
\nI went to place them diagonally as if they were a continuation of the canvas.<\/p>\n

These are the details very close of my little project!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2189copia\"<\/p>\n

For the outside I used a Tim Holtz tissue tape, to give a sense with words to my work instead I used the new Tim Holtz Remnant Rubs.<\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing this project with me and some little inspiration for your creativity! I hope to be helpful and to have transported you directly to the center of the spring, as I think, the color and freedom!<\/p>\n
