Strong and miss

For the latest quote challenge at the Craft Barn I chose the word Miss and set out to produce a layered background with doily stencils in pink and turquoise shades. But the project took me in a different direction... and the result is nothing like what I was aiming for. Never mind!


First I ironed some wax paper I had die-cut with a Memory box die (Piestra tile) to create some resist. Sadly the effect is not as obvious as I would have liked, once I had applied the layers of mists and Distress inks! I also stamped with a Harlequin stamp (The Artistic Stamper) sprayed with water which created a lovely but subtle effect and a muslin texture stamp (Impression Obsession)
The main image is from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous.

Hope you like,

    I love your piece! It is full of color and has just the right amount of texture (to me)! I'd never heard that quote, but it is perfect, and so is the way your chose to attach it to your card!

    Un joli essai, et même si tu as été un peu déçue par l'effet du resist, moi j'aime beaucoup, c'est doux et coloré à la fois!...

    Many is the time when the end product is nothing like what was in my head when a I started - but your end product is lovely - all those delicious textures and a great quote too.

    This is the most unique shape I've seen and I like it. What a clever way to use the miss quote, too. I'm not much of a stamper, so I applaud your ability.
