Spray Ink Storage Box

I have really fallen in love with the That’s Crafty stacking storage units and have finally got round to decorating this one for my Lindy’s Stamp Gang sprays.  Of course it would have made sense to use the sprays themselves to decorate the unit but hey why be sensible when I can choose to be contrary!  Also when I filled it up with my Lindy's spray bottles I realised I needed another box as I have too many bottles for one, but not enough to fill two boxes so therefore had to order more Lindy's as well.  Well you can never have too many!

Led by your dreams

I have been a bit grumpy lately probably the result of the  greyness and rain after that burst of sunshine so in order to encourage the sun back I got my grump penguin stamps out to see if putting them in a exotic setting would cheer them up, unfortunately I don’t think it did!For details of what I did pop over to the That's Crafty blog.

Live

I hope you had a fantastic Christmas, that Santa was generous  with the crafty goodies and you ate and drink lots of lovely things, oh and survived the Boxing Day sales.  Now with 2016 looming and the thought of resolutions in my head I was drawn to this text stencil, in reality every day is filled with intentions – to clean the house, do some ironing, lose weight, do exercise etc but rarely do those intentions survive.  As a person with a chronic health condition, pain and low energy those things just don’t sound fun enough, hence the choice of cheeky looking birdy who is whistling into space having been caught not doing what they should!.   This is my make today for the That's Crafty DT Blog. 

I started by randomly spritzing Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays  all over my journal page.  I was not too worried about mixing colours as Lindy’s are made with a different type of dye to most sprays so it is pretty difficult to make a mud colour.  I also spritzed water to get the colours to move and run.  I love the sheen they give.  I had not put gesso on the page as I wanted to see how they would work, this did of course mean the paper got very wet but it survived. 

Next I stamped randomly to create some background interest.

Next came Rub Ons then black texture paste through the stencil. 

Finally the Katzelkraft bird was stamped onto spare card, coloured with Pitt Artist Pens,  cut by hand  and stuck it on. 

Some doodling and random splashes of white paint and all done.
