Now, I do have to admit, I did get a little misty (as in sentimental) while working on this LO. This is my son when he was a Sr in HS. Tonight is his college graduation; his dad and I couldn't be prouder! Due to Keith's struggle with ASD, we were told he would never graduate HS; but those doctors/counselors didn't know us very well! We jumped into a journey we never expected and we changed our lives drastically, but it was all worth it. Tonight we celebrate!
Ah, but I have digressed from the actual intent of this post..........Mists, sprays and die cuts.
Since a picture is worth 1,000 words, I'll explain my LO using pics. A material list follows at the end.
I used Prima Color Bloom Tea Stain to spray around the right side of the pic. I also put a few drops down the bottom right side. |
I 'mopped up' the excess spray with the natural colored twine to darken it so it would be more visible in my LO. |
Stencil is made from Acetate Alternative cut from the Artbooking Cartridge; I used Bo Bunny Bronze Spray over the stencil. |
