Inspired by Pam Thorburn (2)

Pam is back on the Paper Artsy blog with 3 scrapbook layouts. I chose this one as my inspiration, as soon as I saw the paint drips I had to have a go.
Of course sprays are quite unpredictable at the best of times but I decided to add micas sprays on top of my Fresco sprays and things got messy!

I substituted Pam's home made washi tapes by scraps of paper, as I had tons of them in a similar width to the washi, and a bit of Tim Holtz tissue paper. But I couldn't leave it alone and added scrim, texture paste through a stencil and a die-cut border. I stuck all these down before spraying, as I had to gesso them first as they all had different colours.

I completely lost control of the page and from then on I diverted quite a bit from Pam's design. I added torn and punched edges, vellum and a scrap of wax paper (used to die-cut, so this is actually the waste) and several die-cuts.
From an inadvertent puddle of mica spray on my table I stamped some circles with the said spray's cap.
Not a lot of stamping on this page but I have used some of the lettering of the Wisdom stamp from  ESN07.

Thanks for coming by,
