Believe in fairies


A while ago I spent some time making my own sprays from various things, some cheap metallic paints, luna lights paints and some cheap acrylic paints, after the initial play they just got pushed away in a cupboard, came across them yesterday and thought I'd have another play. I never have a plan, just let things evolve, so sprayed three different colours, some embossing paste stencilling, bits of background stamping , the text is stamped on tissue paper and applied with gel medium and finally (with some trepidation in case it went wrong!) I stamped the fairy, she's a freebie from a magazine ,I nearly didn't keep it but glad I did now.

I'd like to enter a few challenges

  1. Absolutely love it Joan !! It's so nice to just go where your mind takes you instead of having a fixed plan.

    Would be interested to know what paste you used for the stenciling asd it's kept nice and white, so many go translucent as they dry.
