Doesn't the white silhouette really "pop" on that weathered board?! I love it! Here's what I came up with:
I did a blended background with Distress Inks and then thought I'd add some iridescent gold Glimmer Mist (Tattered Angels) that I've had for ages. You know how when something doesn't work like you think it should so you start pushing/pumping harder? Well apparently because I hadn't used this in SOOOO long, it gummed up and I really had to reef on it to get it going....you can see where this story is going, right?! I always get after my hubby when he uses brute force on something and usually ends up breaking it, and here I was doing the same thing! Instead of taking the mister part of the bottle off and running it through some hot water to unclog it, I went the opposite route and of course it exploded all over my background and looked like a hot mess!! I set it aside as I started cleaning up so I could start again, but after it dried a bit, it really looked kind of cool...so I used it! Phew!! I did added a little bit of spattering with white acrylic paint and then added my die cut silhouette (Gina Marie Designs) with foam tape behind it to give a little dimension. My sentiment is from PTI's Think Big: Christmas #10 and was embossed in gold. For such a disastrous start, I really like how this came out!
Now it's your turn and we can't wait to see what you come up with using a silhouette that's NOT black! You can see all the Design Teams inspiration and then play along right HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!
