Quotes & Lyrics - Gift


For the 20th Challenge in the Craft Barn's Quotes & Lyrics Challenge the words are Gift & Destiny. This was a quote week for me and luckily I remembered this quote stamp I have that includes the word gift. I stamped the text and then masked the words  Yesterday, Tomorrow and Today however with all the spraying and squirting the colours ran under the masks so in the end I had to re-stamp the words and add them again. The stencil by Balzer Designs was sprayed with 2 shades of Glimmer Mist (aren't these a pain to use ? They just keep blocking up) and outlined with a Pigma micron pen. The remaining background uses my current favourite - Brusho powder paints. I only have blue, yellow, green, black and white so you may start to get fed up of seeing these colours but I love the effects they create. I sprinkled yellow, blue & green and spritzed with water and gold shimmer spray. When dry I dabbed seedless preserves DI over the page and added a layered flower to the stencilled circle with a candi dot centre.
I do try and visit all of your fab entries but I don't do Facebook or Google+ so whilst I admire that work I am unable to comment on it.

  6. I'd not heard of Brushos until a couple of weeks ago when I saw them on another blog. But I like the effect.

    I agree that the commercial glimmer mists are a pain. I have to clean the sprays every time I use them. That's why I create my own and they don't seem to clog the sprayer. Not sure why, because I reuse old mister bottles.

    This is a beautiful stamp (and quote, too). Your art demonstrates that.

    I'm the same as you, since I'm not on FB, G+, or Flickr.

  7. I have never used Brushos, but they do look great, especially as I love a splattery look! Fab quote too.

  10. I know just what you mean about the glimmer mists! I have just bought a few of the Prima Colour Blooms which claim to be clog-free, so time will tell... Your piece is beautiful and I love how the highlighted words stand out.

  14. I also had that quote in my stamp collection. Love your Brusho background. I've just bought some so hoping to get as good a result as yours.

    I always decant my shimmer sprays into mister bottles and they don't seem to clog up then.

  19. I love that quote, but as I already used it in the past went for something else.
    And I don't have any glimmer mists but my Dylusions are also not bullet proof sadly.
