More play with gels and sprays

Last week I didn't have time to create a new make for the Paper Artsy challenge using the Paua shell effect technique. The Craft Barn challenge is about sprays this week which I took as a sign...


I used both traditional texture paste and the transparent texture paste from Ranger (in lieu of 3D gel medium) with my stencils and this worked as the micas in my sprays were grabbed quite efficiently by the gel as can be seen in this picture:


I chose my stencils and stamps for their circular motifs with a theme of stained glass.

Thanks for coming by,

  8. Coucou, je suis enfin de retour, désolée pour ma longue absence...
    Elle est superbe ta page Christine, et moi aussi j'ai repéré cette technique que j'aimerais bien essayer. Bravo, le résultat semble à la hauteur tu as choisi les bons pochoirs, et est même probablement encore plus beau de près. Bises

  10. Wow, fabulous! Such rich and vibrant colours, I love all the composition! Thank you for dropping by my blog, about the clay embellishments I used mica powder on soft clay, then I dry it and the colours stay there.
