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
