Frida Shrine



Just a little Frida shrine I made last night.

I started with one of the lovely Invoke Funky House images stamped onto a background I'd previously created using Adirondack Colour Wash Sprays.

I love Tina's idea of clear embossing over the top of your work - it really accentuates the colours.





Here are 3 similar backgrounds I made at the same time. I just used 2 colours; Lettuce and Stream. Hope to buy some more soon though! Thanks for the inspiration Karen.
Happy crafting!

Oh Wow, you are so clever, and my little Frida came this morning and I love her. Did you watch the film yet? I cant wait for mine to arrive....you have me hooked on Frida now. You have done such an amazing job with these designs, you should be very proud. Well done, Jaqi x

I REALLY like this - you just get better and better at this with everything you make! Now I understand the finish on the ATC you sent me, and I've GOT to get some of those colour wash thingys.

What a delicous post Linda! I love your use of color. The green washes sound like fun.

I have the alcohol inks but not the wash sprays. Me thinks I might need to invest in some!

Hi Linda,

I'm anxious to hear how you liked the film. The art museum in Tacoma had a great Frida exhibit last spring. Her work is so distinctive...such an interesting person

The Frida Shrine is gorgeous...love how you have continued with the Frida theme, she has really ispired you.

The colour washes look great, will have a play with them.

Be filled with Wonder and Peace.....and Cosiness

I hope you're managing to embrace this change of season. I'm so much better at accepting the end of summer than I used to be. I&...
