Hello everyone,
I'm seriously thinking I need a light tent....yes even in Summer! This really must be one of the dullest Summer's here in the South of the UK which makes picture taking challenging to say the least!
I must just say a big thank you for all the kind comments that are left on my blog, I know its not always easy to get around to all the blogs we follow so I'm really grateful that you do ;)
Today's creation is done on wood. I love this Jane Davenport face stencil as even though I love to draw my own faces this is a time saver as drawing faces can take ages!
I am entering this into the following challenges:
Anything but Cute, Making Magic ( see Mood Board below)....think I've used most of it here ;)
Mixed Media Monthly, Get Texty
Try it on Tuesday, Use Stencils
That Craft Place, Mixed Media Anything Goes
Simply Create Too, Anything Goes
Decoart paints and sprays, Decoart modelling paste, Gelatos,Stencils are: Jane Davenport, Paperartsy and Crafters Workshop, Prima messy writing stamp, stabilo black pencil, Posca white pen,black Micron pen and a Tim Holtz sentiment.
Hope you like it

UPDATE:
I've had a few questions about how this was achieved. The background is just simply paint brayered on until you get the colour you want.
Re the stencilling effects, scrape the Decoart modelling paste through the stencils, allow to dry and then apply the Gelatos to the modelling paste. As the paste is so smooth it takes the Gelatos beautifully and allows you to blend the colours together.
The paint runs were just achieved by spraying the Decoart Mixed Media misters and allowing to run down the wood.
Any more questions, just ask ;)
