One minute it was Saturday and now its half way through the week! This is a very belated upload for Polly's fabulous mixed media challenge to use cotton balls and jazz up a dull background.
Using a cotton ball I dabbed on diluted white chalk paint, that didn't look so good so I used the same cotton ball and scrubbed it over the entire card.
That didn't look so good either so I grabbed a baby wipe while the paint was still wet and very firmly wiped the paint off. To my amazement not only did the white paint come off but so did the dull paint and a fair bit of dull ink from the original cardstock.
Next I squirted a little bit of blue Dylusions ink spray onto al foil and without diluting it, I swooshed an ink soaked cotton ball all over the card.
Continuing with cotton balls I used several different stencils. I can't believe how much easier it is to stencil with paint using a cotton ball as opposed to a paintbrush, stippling brush or foam.
Miranda is a gorgeous embossed image sent to me by Helen (helekins). In the true spirit of mixed media, she is coloured with Prismacolour Pencils, distress crayons and alcohol markers. Fussy cut and adhered to the card with 3D tape.
I hope everyone has a happy, inky new year. Thank you for looking.
