Lindy's Stamp Gang January Colour Challenge

This is my entry for the January colour challenge.  

I thought it looked drab and for a few days I was not going to do an entry.  That is until I remembered the Once Upon a Time series specifically the Season 2 premiere where Aurora wakes up from her sleep.  I knew that my niece would love this theme and so I became inspired.  She is fifteen since the 9th and although I had given her money I decided to make her something as well.

I bought a wood hanger from CardznScrapz. Then I ran away with it!!

Using a Dylusions Stencil Lucious Leaves &

Viva Decor Graphite Ferro Paste  (a fantastic gritty structure) that dries quickly and can be painted and sanded and easy to use.

I painted it with white paint and dried it with a heat tool.
Then I got to work and as my three year old says "Oh! What Fun!!".
The fabulous products I used from Lindy's Stamp Gang are
Bodacious Blush spray and magicals
Gag Me with a Spoon Gray spray and magicals
Cleopatra's Copper embossing powder
Silver Moon Mistletoe embossing powder
Queen Sheba Silver embossing powder
Gag Me With a Spoon Gray and Bodacious Blush Glitter
Fusible Webbing which is really fun to play with.
Lindy's Stamp Gang Side Swirl Accents Large and Small (I love these as they are simple and aesthetically pleasing on any project.)
Prima Flowers and Resin Fairy
Versa Mark Frost Embossing Pad
Prima Brads
Prima Junkyard 

Memory Box Alphabet Dies Uppercase and Lowercase  

Golden Acrylic Paints for a base.

I painted the entire hanger white once the Ferro had dried. 

I painted it alternating between Burnt Sienna and Alizarian Crimson Hue and Gray made up of Carbon Black and Titanium White.

I painted up a lot of layers of Magical Gag Me with a Gray Spoon and Bodacious Blush which I had barely dipped with water. 

I layered the colours so many times that the colours became opaque.  Then to blend the edges I sprayed more of the colours all over. When it dried I put the webbing in a few areas and used the heat gun to make it look lacy (slightly) and put a little Cleopatra's Copper and Queen Sheba Silver and heat embossed it.

I put the glitter on the LSG accents and let them dry.

I sprayed and painted the Prima Flowers with the LSG sprays.

I layered them with the Junkyard Findings and brads and dried everything.

With the fairy I applied the Versamark pen and used the Cleopatra Copper for the dress. I embossed the wings with a tiny amount of the Cleopatra Copper and Silver Mistletoe.

I die cut the uppercase and lowercase letters and embossed with Silver Mistletoe and adhered everything to the hanger.

I think my Niece will like it.

I hope you tell me what you think, I would love some feedback.

That's all for now

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair

Hi All,

Don't tell anyone, but I LOVE stencils and masks and anything in between. I can't get enough of them as they make marvellous layers that can only add to your craft project or art piece. 
And thanks to Effy Wild I now make my own. Woo Hoo! But today this is not one of those that I made. I'll show you that one soon, I promise.

Anyway I digress. There is a new company (to me anyway)that are making stunning new stencils and mask and this new-fangled idea thing called Stenscapes. Who are they you ask? What are they? I'll tell you. They are called Splodgeaway and you can see what they do on their blog.

In a nutshell, Stenscapes are a set of masks and stencils that all come as one pack that create a picture and landscape that all works together or can be used in conjunction with another set.

I didn't do that exactly.

I used them with modelling crème and kristel gel from Viva Décor that is truly amazing and incredibly versatile. The look and depth of the finished article is great and I use their products a lot. The modelling crème is pearlescent and opaque and the kristel gel is transparent and was initially used on glass and mirrors I believe.

So I thought what about acetate? It worked!! But I went alittle overboard and used the  Fantasy Fairy stenscapes and used the castle, fairy, toadstool, flinging glitter at it here and there. Then I used the Fantasy Unicorn stenscape for the unicorns, castle and the little vine. Then whats a crafty piece of art without a few flowers so I used Splodgaway's flower creators 1-4 either for the flowers or the leaves.

Once I thought I had enough of the shapes and layers of flowers on the acetate I put them aside to dry. I have found that it is best to let the crème and gel dry for about 24 hours so that they are hard and dry all the way through.

Now I had time to create my background. I know that I made way too many pieces from the masks so I am sure that I will be making other things like cards and such to use them up.

Kaisercraft have beautiful papers that just beg to be used in a ethereal landscape especially when I consider that they have a fantastic Fairy Tales pad.

Anyway using acrylic paint I used daisy and swirly backgrounds and through a load of shimmer sprays and paint from Tattered Angels and Luninarte.

Then I added a little title using peel-offs and my daughter has hair that feels like it is as long as Rapunzel's when I am trying to get knots out LOL!!

It was finished with little bits of Prima embellishments and some bling and little bits of foiled Spellbinders die cuts.

That's about it really. Talk to you later.
