Jenni Bowlin Studio :) :) :)

Heeeeeello Hello :) :) :)

What an awesome month for creative shares at Jenni Bowlin Studio!!! I so so love the brief 'Get Messy'! Like I would say no LOL :)

With the layout I am sharing with you today I have used heaps of glorious product from the Mercantile! all the information is listed in blog post >>> HERE :).

To create my background I used one of the awesome Dina Wakley's masks; the 12 x 12 Boulders stencil. I have sprayed the stencil with both a white and grey mist and then stamped the mask on to the cardstock background, its as simple as that!!!!!

I have added extra splats of colour with Jenni Bowlin paints; which I applied with a small soft bristle paint brush :)

Aaaaaaand so would you like to know fabulous Jenni Bowlin Studio products I used???

Nathalie Kalbach Stencil Blog Hop :) :) :)

Hello Hellooooo :)

Guess who is getting to create again using Nat Kalbach's new stencils??!!!! :)  The awesome Nathalie Kalbach is at it again with her fabulous designing and sharing of the creative love :)

Nat has organised an awesome blog hop to show case her fabulous new designs with Stencil Girl Products!!

You realllllly must go check out all of her amazing new designs >>> HERE :) :) :)

So the fabulous stencil that I had the honour of creating with is the Standup Bass :)

What is Not to love about this stencil!!!

This is a layout that I created using Nat's cool Standup Base Stencil

I have used some embossing medium with the standup base stencil to reproduce a dimensional image on my layout background. To highlight the pattern I have used a Gelato and precious metal colour paint . I just love how the combination of these 2 mediums highlights the standup base image.

From this close up you can see that I have created a clear heat embossed standup base image on my background.

Using a gelato I have partially coloured the inside space of the base image.

I have then started to fill in the rest of the inside space of the base by using a wet paint brush on the gelato.

I have then spritzed this with water and dried off with a heat gun.

I have added a few extra splats of precious metal colour paint inside the base, spritzed it with water, and allowed some to dribble down the layout before drying it off with a heat gun.

So here are the amazing creatives who are sharing their art with you on this blog hop!
