Over on the PaperArtsy blog this month the theme is mediums, i, like a lot of people i imagine, have lots of tubs of 'stuff' sitting on my craft desk that i don't really know what to do with! Well Leandra has kindly made a couple of You Tube videos demonstrating different ways to use them so i thought i would give it a go.
I started out by using various gels through a stencil onto waxed paper then spraying with Lindy's stamp gang sprays, these results varied quite a lot depending on the product used but the effect i got with 3D matt gel was my favourite, i used this piece to die cut the dragonfly out of as the colours reminded me of a dragonfly's wings.
I used one of the other sample pieces, which was clear gesso through a stencil and sprayed onto deli paper, as part of my background, tearing pieces off and sticking them down. i then dripped more sprays over the top and added some treasure gold to the raised areas. The sentiment id from hot pick 1507.
Hope you like it
Oooh wow, I love it, you got some fab results, them Lindy's are obviously the secret to getting a fab shimmer, they seem to work the best with the gels and mediums from what I've seen.
