Got my grubby ….

…….. inked stained and paper cut paws on some Glimmer Mist by Tattered Angles! What fun!

Instead of using cardstock, I decided to see what the effect would be on calico. I did have the idea of eventually making a 4 x 4, so I misted the calico using Yellow Daisy. When dry, I used a 4x4 template/guide underneath the calico and stamped my 9 little lassies. I then punched out 9 1” squares out of ordinary printer paper and temporarily stuck them over my stamped images and misted with Bronze. Unfortunately, the Glimmer is lost in the scan! It does look rather 'washed out'

When I noticed that the mist had ‘pooled/collected’ I misted a piece of water colour paper with Yellow Daisy (again). The thought, Reduce, remake, Recycle, etc etc, Reuse was shouting, so I used it to soak up the excess and lo and behold this is what the result was. I stamped my 9 little ladies again and bingo. Again the Glimmer got lost!

Should I try this again, I will try to find a better way of sealing the punched squares over my images. I think if the ‘borders’ were more yellow it would have come out much nicer. The Bronze ‘bled’ too much! Oh well, as they say, ‘You live and learn’ And I have learnt!

This is my contribution to the LotsToDoChallenge It seems absolute ages that I sat down and made something! The background is from a piece of 'my playing with my new goodies'

Oops, missed the bus with this one!

Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of the weekend! Thank you for stopping by and leaving such lovely comments.
