In folklore, the Green Man is a guardian of the forest, watching over the gateway between the material and immaterial worlds. He symbolizes nature, rebirth, and the ever-changing seasons—making him the perfect focus as winter transitions into spring.
In today’s tutorial, Tracey brings the magnificently detailed Green Man stamp to life, surrounding him with a selection of floral mini stamps and adding rich colour using Expression Watercolour Pencils and Posca Pens.
The lush, verdant background is created on a Gel Press, where Elements Inks are applied through a stencil and spattered with diluted Brush Powdered Inks before being printed onto Hot-Pressed Watercolour Card to achieve a beautifully textured effect.
For the perfect final touch of shimmer, Tracey adds a hint of Lime Green Stickles Glitter, enhancing the magic of this mythical figure.
