Here's a reminder that there is still time to join in with the
That's Crafty Monthly Blog Challenge *Feeling Blue*
Here's another project this time using some delicate Blue Hues..
and those *How to do's*..
Painting an 8 x 8 greyboard panel with white Gesso, I pushed texture paste through the
beautiful intricate Mandala stencil. When completely dry I lay down the stencil over the top and repeated again sealing with another layer of Gesso. When that was dry laying the stencil down for a final time I dabbed on textured sand paste to create a little more texture.
Highlights of gold were adding using my finger and flicks and drips
of white seemed to bring those delicious colours together.
A turquoise embellishment helps to focus the eye.
Randomly stamping the script stamp the panel was edged with gold and
an Affirmation from Lynnes Stamp Set 4 stamped bottom right.
My Mandala panel piece is complete..

Watering down Ocean and Teal multi surface paint in a small spray bottle I sprayed the
mixture on to the panel, allowing the colours to drip down the raised mandala.
Watered down Chestnut brown was sprayed to add contrast.

This is just beautiful Tracey, you've chosen the perfect stencil and colours, and used them fabulously xx
So loving this, now I want to find a stencil the same..xx [aNNie]
Thank you Donna.. It's such a simple technique which we all use, the build up of texture really holds the paint well x
They really do work so well together, and a project that doesn't take too long to do apart from waiting for the paste to dry in between applications :)) x
Thank you Annie, it is a fab stencil, I love how you can use all or just little areas of it and all so intricate xx
