The Green Man - inspired by Julie Ann at Paperartsy

Earlier this week, Julie Ann shared three gorgeous canvases using ceramic masks, beautifully decorated - see them here 
I didn't have any ceramic masks nor time or patience to wait to find one so had to think outside the box.. I settled for this:

 the stamp is by Judikins and I rarely use it... I stamped it on Clearly for Art, Wendy Vecchi's moldable modelling film.

 Painted a canvas with lots of different green Fresco's.

 Die cut a load of leaves on Smoothy paper that I'd painted with lots of green Frescos.  Stamped on some of them (though after I'd taken this photo, lol) I painted the face with more green Frescos, after heating the Clearly for Art and making it face-shaped.

 and started to assemble the canvas...I added some texture to the canvas with grunge paste through a stencil and splodged some Chartreuse and French Roast Frescos over the paste.  I've largely hidden it though... Also used some broken twigs round where the mask would go

 It's looking a bit shiny from the flash... not to mention the wet heavy structure gel I used to glue the mask and the twigs in place and was too impatient to let dry...

then stuck the die cut leaves to the canvas.

Thank you, Julie Ann, I really enjoyed this one!
Entering it to the Paperartsy challenge here and also to the Stampotique Designers Challenge #138 which is "green"
