Its a mini canvas done with a few challenges in mind. I have used a clarity canvas board 6x6 inches and Jo's bubble stencil, grunge paste, distress paints, pens, sprays and a clarity stamp.
I started with the canvas and applied the grunge paste through the bubble stencil then left it dry. Next I applied mermaid lagoon and mowed lawn distress paint and blueprint sketch distress spray. Once dry I applied the stamp to the canvas, I also applied it to card and coloured and cut the mermaid out.
Next I added inka gold in a variety of shades to the raised areas and inked in the hair. Finally I added some snowflake white paint to highlight the dots around the stamped image.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
claritystampchallenge-30 tic tac toe - I used the line stencil, grungepaste stamp.
It was a great few days with Bez - we've laughed and cried and put the world to rights - Shaun would have been smiling if he were watching us! We also had fun with the girlies in the day times:
this was at Wollaton Hall Park in Nottingham - they have recently added a new playground - it was great fun until the weather changed!!!
This was at the High Peak Trail in Derbyshire where we all panned for minerals - it was very absorbing and they really loved it!
Tomorrow is another day and I have an 11 mile run planned - I will do it but I suspect time will be very slow! Wish me luck!!!
Big Hugs
