I enjoyed this challenge very much, even though I had mixed results. Acrylic paint that stayed wet for a while worked the best. I only had three colors of the Golden paints: transparent pyrrole orange, transparent red iron oxide and ultramarine violet. I really like how they mixed (I used a credit card to apply). I used the sun stencil for both the ink lift and the paste stenciled sun. I bought this effect paste on clearance at Mike's, wasn't sure it would look like, very interesting effect. It has sand and sparkle in it. I always enjoy using the Helen Keller quote. Thanks, Anita.

fab background, Jean - it almost looks like polished stone! And that sun is oh my, so beautiful. Jewel-like. The colours in this remind me of the ochre quarries we visited.
