Just playing

Hello there, I've been playing!  I love being able to try out new techniques and also making my own background papers.  I picked up some Impasto Paste and have been playing around with it and made this textured background.

For this background I spread a thin layer of Impasto paste over a 5 x 5 piece of white card.  then I bunched up a piece of plastic kitchen wrap and dabbed it over the wet paste to create an abstract texture.

Once this was dry, I sprayed some of my much loved Lindy's Stamp Gang mica sprays on it and let it dry again.  I chose colours that would compliment this fabulous image from Make it Crafty.

Anastasia is the image I've used here, it's a Make it Crafty digi, she has been in my collection for a while now, with all those curls and little flowers I've been a little daunted by her but I finally took the plunge and coloured her up.  I hope you like what you see.

 I've taken a few pictures on different angles to try and pick up that shimmer and shine that has collected in the texture.

This final picture shows the Make it Crafty chipboard corner, I sprayed it with the same gold mica spray.  I love how delicate this chipboard is, gorgeous to work with.

I am entering Anastasia into the following challenges.
