Be Brave with Dina Wakely`s Mixed Media All For the Gals Stamps

Hello sweet friends, Tracy here today to share a quick, messy, painty, ink splattered journal page featuring 

Dina Wakely`s Mixed Media Stamps 

All for the Gals Set

I am all in a " TIZ " at the ideas that are running through my head right now . . . I am so in  loooove with them!!

Kim has them on Pre Order in the shop and they should be in any day now.

I managed to get my painty mitts on them here in the UK, woohoo.

This was me tonight being brave 

as

 I headed out to the shed, with not a thought in my head

except

to have fun, get messy and play!

 I started with a quick splodge of Gesso to my old book page, followed by a mixture of

Dylusion Ink Sprays

a smidgen or two of

Pan Pastels

and

 a splatter or circle or two 

with

Tim Holtz Distress Ink Black Soot.

{ Massive apologies for no step by step pics today, I did get bold and carried away }

The tag was created on a 7 Gypsies Naked Tag . . . another loooove, lol!

A quick splodge of Gesso first

followed by

Inking up the stamp with an Archival Ink Pad

 Mixing up a little Pan Pastel with Gesso for her skin tone

Spraying Dylusion inks onto my craft sheet and brushing it on loosely 

before

Adding a few touches of  a script stamp

and

My doodle doodle doo`s.

Lurking around my shed, sitting gathering dust was a bottle of

Aged Artists Varnish

I have no idea how to use it 

or

what it`s for

but in the

Spirit 

of

Discovery

I gave it a shake

and

GULP

grabbed a cleanish rag

and

oh my giddy aunt

I quickly, nervously

rubbed it all over 

the result . . .

It has a beautiful aged gloss to the page, I wish the pictures could do it justice.

 

My sewing machine is feeling poorly at the moment, sigh . . . but I wanted thread on my page and thread I was going to have.

I dug around my sewing box which I inherited, it`s full of the most beautiful old threads on wooden bobbins and I came across this black linen thread . . . scrummy yummy and as I chopped some up it fell into circles all on it`s own . . . bliss!

A few of the sentiments from the set was all that was needed to finish the page.

That`s all from me today my friends

till next time

Happy Crafting
