He's got skills by Tracey B

 Happy Tuesday everyone! 

Here's another bright and cheery layout inspired by this month's mood board.

I wasn't sure exactly where I was going with this LO in the beginning (situation normal really) so I started with a coat of white gesso as I was pretty sure I wanted to be able to 'move' whatever medium I decided to use.

I opted for some gelatos initially so a scribble on my messy mat, a spritz with water and then transferred them to my layout using some plastic packaging.

I also used them to colour the diecuts I was using (just painting with a brush).   

I used a swirly stencil and a pencil to draw in some curves and then went back in with a black Posca pen & defined the swirls adding a few more freehand as I went along.   Note to self - ensure your LO is dry or you'll bugger up your Posca!

 

I then grabbed another stencil, a foam applicator and some Distress Oxide for another layer. 

Because the Distress Oxide will react with water I spritzed some ware onto by hand and then flicked it onto the LO.

Another stencil and some Art Anthology Dimensional Velvet paint. I just love this stuff - so lush and creamy.

I then fussy cut a Hambly screen print, layered my photo, added a title and stuck everything down and lastly added some journalling.
