Ready to get a little messy? Let's get out some mixed media supplies and play

Challenge: For today's challenge I want you to apply some texture paste through a stencil and then add color burst or brushos. These are the steps I followed for my sample:

-add texture paste through a stencil (here's a homemade recipe if you don't have some)

-when your paste is dry, spritz with water and sprinkle on your watercolor powder, repeat until you get the desired amount/colors (if you don't have any watercolor powders, try other color mediums like watercolors, re-inkers)

You can leave it there or take it up a notch by doing one or all of these steps:


-stamp open design type stamps or line images (like a circle) on your textured piece and paint the inside of your image with gesso or acrylic paint

-add more paint through a stencil (I used gold through some small circle stencils)

-splatter or spray inks sprays on top



Remember to use two or more mediums on your card. See a list of suggested materials here.

I'll be along tomorrow. I got my stencilling done before work, but didn't get home till after four and have been in the kitchen ever since. Going to move on to the add colour stage and maybe even finish it off before bed .

So, do you put the stencil back over the paste when its dry to spritz it with the water to then do the powders?

I have to tell you I hardly ever use them because, they migrate and the mess is worse than glitter to me, it must be me but, I end up with color everywhere.

I didn't put my stencil back on after it had dried before I sprinkled on the powders but I suppose you could. You can also try using a different color medium. Sue used watered down zig markers...you could try re-inkers or ink sprays....Also do you have a "spray box"? What I mean by that is a large box that you use when you are applying stuff like sprays or burshos that get all over the place..you place your paper in the bottom (mine is lined with newspaper) and sprinkle or spritz away.

Didn't get it finished last night, too frustrated trying to find my Aoife's Leaves card which has vanished, even though I can find the custom envelope I made for it . Just time to finish it off this morning after prepping lunch to bring to my aunt's house for a meet with cousins.
