Collagraph Angel WOYWW 340

Today I am finally making my angel cards which I started a few weeks ago (post 18th Nov). The prints were made on black paper for a stained glass look. I use the old catalogue as a glueing spot - any glue over the edges goes onto the paper which is then discarded. Here's how I got to this:-

 

I first printed the block in white emulsion paint (have loads in the garage) and then over printed the outer part in blue. I add a bit of medium to the paint to extend  the drying time (you can use KY lubricating jelly for this - honestly).

 

The angel is then overprinted in gold. I had no acrylic gold left left so I mixed silk paint outliner with a bit of orange acrylic paint. The printed angels will then be backed by some coloured card stock and then glued onto blank cards.

I will not be posting for the next couple of weeks as I am away for a 'noughty' birthday treat but I will be catching up with what everyone else is up to. Have a merry week - I will.
