and I have to admit....this week
my "get up and go".....
got up and LEFT!
I ACTUALLY had to force myself
to create.....YES ME!
So....I just jumped in....
with no plan and NO IDEA
what I was going to create!!
I pulled out the
and just BEGAN!
I randomly colored on the box with the Gelatos...
I then spritzed the "colored" box with water.
With the Stipple brush
I swooshed the water around,
blending the colors.
I then pulled out a package of
Christy Tomlinson's ~ Coffee Filter Words,
and tore a sheet into strips.
I dipped my paintbrush into
a jug of Claudine Hellmuth's ~ Multi Medium ~ Matte,
and applied it to the box....randomly!!
I squinshed up the torn pieces in the
Multi Medium.
When dry, I then applied a layer of
Viva Colour ~ Crackle Base Coat for Porous Surfaces,
to the blank areas.
When dry I applied a liberal coat of
Viva Colour ~ Black Crackle Paint.
(these supplies will be arriving in the
epShop SOON!!)
I love how the Gelatos show through the cracks!!
(Now this is when the creative juices kicked in
and I forgot to keep taking pictures......SORRY!)
I sliced off a bit of the "Aqua Dolce" Gelato
and mixed it with a puddle of
Claudine Hellmuth's ~ Gesso.
I did have to spritz the mixture with water occasionally.
I then applied the mixture through Dyan's
Dylusions Stencil ~ Checquered Dots
with the Stipple Brush.
Now if you know anything about my style....
you know there
HAS TO BE a FLOWER involved somewhere!!
I pulled out a package of CMC ~ Darjeeling flowers,
a bottle of Butternut Shimmering Mist,
and sliced of another chunk of the
"Aqua Dolcue" Gelato
which I spritzed with water on my Craft Mat.
I also spritzed a puddle of the Butternut Shimmering Mist
on my Craft Mat.
I then spritzed the flower with water
and let the coloring begin!!
I cut different size leaves from a piece of
Patterned Paper from the
Bo~Bunny Mama~razzi 6x6 paper pad.
I rubbed some Forest Moss Distress Ink on my craft mat,
spritzed it with the mist.
I then painted the mixture onto the leaves.
I then dabbed on some
Shabby Shutters ~ Distress Stickles.
Here is the end result of my
"unmotivated" creative time!!
Hope you've enjoyed my little project!!
Do come back next week for
another creation!!
