‘Insanity’ by Tracy Fear

Hi it’s Tracy here with a card that I made using Deb Weiers’ new Wonky Faces and Wonky Backgrounds packs. These are so cool!

I started with some watercolor paper and smooshed and splattered ink onto it. I toner foiled some of the background stripes from Deb Weiers’ Wonky Backgrounds and glued a part of the negative foil onto the background with some collage medium. I peeled  up the plastic while still a bit damp and rubbed some more ink over it to get that grungy look.

I fussy-cut then glued the figure to the background. I outlined her with my Stabilo black pencil and used a small wet brush to expand the shadow around her to make her pop and to add dimension.  I cut a circle out of the striped background paper and glued it onto a couple of same sized circles cut from heavy cardstock to give it some dimension. Using a white and black colored pencil I created shadow and light then grunged it up a bit with some ink and glued it down to a bunch of silver thread.

I cut out some of the words from the Wonky Backgrounds, popping them up on heavy cardstock too. I altered one of the words to read inSANITY, outlined with black pen and red pencil, then inked the edges. I also added a piece of blue twine to one of the words.

I cut a small circle out of the Wonky Backgrounds paper, added shadow to it and glued it down to the card panel.  I glued the words down then outlined the whole thing with my black Stabilo pencil and smeared it a bit.  I cut a mat piece out of black cardstock and glued the panel down to that then popped the whole thing up onto a Kraft card base.  I added the small dots of dimensionals and she was done!

The packs I used are:
