Splatter, Spritz, Smoosh at Stamps and Stencils

Hi....what a great title, it's the new challenge theme over at Stamps and Stencils chosen by our very talented DT leader Sue  and it's all about messy play. Here's what Sue says about it.

'What can be better that getting messy in your craft room, so for this challenge it's time to get out those sprays, paints and inks and really get messy ! We want to see splattering, spritzing and smooshing ! Just remember to include either some stamping or stencilling.' 

The theme spoke journal pages to me...but this time I went down a vintage route.

Like many of you I've started the year trying to use stamps and stash that I haven't used for ages or maybe not used at all...

I started with a background of fresco paints in Sage and Vintage Lace that were spritzed with Prima Blooms in Tea Stain.

Next Light Modelling Paste through a TCW stencil (? garden gate but may have made that up!).

Next Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays in various shades of blue and green spritzed, splattered and dripped, love how the mica pools.

The hearts are a Chocolate Baroque set that I've always liked but don't often use because they are hearts, but I felt they fitted the vintage style of the pages. Gold fresco (I know...again) as a base and then stamped with Plum archival.

The font and the swirly bits are Stampers Annonymous. Various background stamps in blue archival inks and some stencilling with Vintage Lace to soften the pages.

Lastly Treasure gold to highlight.

 Green and Red are a rare combination for me to use outside Christmas but I might use it more often as I've really enjoyed a'spritzing and a'smooshing!
