First there was this lettering technique with grunge paste. As she mentioned in her post that it was like applying glitter glue from a bottle, it gave me an idea... I had a set of small glitter glue bottles (freebie from a magazine) and emptied most of the glue into a spare container. This already had a remnant of a mix of South Pacific Fresco and white paint. I mixed the texture paste with water then sucked it into the glitter glue bottle, put back the nozzle tip and managed a more controlled application with it to write the word Blooming. Quite pleased with that one!
Second, Liz used stencils with paste to give some texture to this project, so I did the same using a Prima mask and a DIY mask. I applied Limelight and Claret paints using a water spray to move the paint around. When dry, I used Treasure Gold Aquamarine to highlight the textures.
Third Liz cut apart a laser cut frame to adorn her box (same post as above), I didn't have that same item but I thought I could make something similar with a punch. I used lightweight cardboard and, after punching, I painted it with the mixture of glitter glue and South Pacific, the by product of my first technique. This could have been a disaster but I would only know if I tried... so I did!
You won't see the glitter or the original colour of the piece since, when I stuck it to my finished board, I realised the colour clash was so awful I couldn't let it stand. I took oil pastels to it in an attempt to get a better colour match.
Finally I stamped the irises from Hot Pick 1204 with green and purple dye inks.
Thanks for coming by,

You did a really good job with your lettering, adding it into the bottle with nozzle was inspired and worked so well.
