And now for something comPletely different

Hello everyone, Georgia here and I am back up on the blog today using so many gorgeous paints and stencils from Dina Wakley. 

All the DW paints and stencils can be found on the Scrappingclearly website, Kylie has an enormous range to purchase from. This image is from the AALL & Create stamps which was used from my stash, it also has a great title stamp in this set too. 

I love creating backgrounds by layering colours and stencils to complete my page. I coloured my image using watercolours then fussy cut him. This was a fitting image to go with this month's mood board representing a vintage circus and a whimsical fun page. Love how this page turned out and I hope you get inspired to create this month using the mood board.

She drew new lines

Hi everyone, welcome back to the SC blog. Today I am sharing a simple journal page in my ABM journal that can be found on the SC website.

I always gesso my pages as it helps the next layers of colours to pop on my page. Stencil used is the DW Triangle Fence to create some bold line work and to keep the colour theme for this months mood board. Dina Wakley paints are so easy to use to create background layers.

I completed this journal page with a quote on tissued paper adhered with some DW Gel Medium and a tissue printed LF image that I had in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by.

Taking My Sprays Off the Page – Using Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays on Resin - Pj

I love finding new ways to use the products already in my stash, and this time I wanted to see how my Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays would work on resin embellishments.

 

🖌️ Step 1 – Prep your resin

I applied a light, even coat of gesso over each piece and let it dry completely. This step is key — without it, the sprays can bead up on the smooth resin surface. 

🎨 Step 2 – Add your colour

Once dry, I went in with my Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays, building up colour in light layers. Because they’re acrylic-based, they sit beautifully on top of the gesso and still give that gorgeous, slightly glossy finish.

If you don’t want to waste any spray, try spraying onto a piece of paper or your craft mat first, then press tags or cardstock into the overspray — nothing goes to waste! You can also move your resin pieces through the leftover colour, just make sure to lift them out of any puddles before it dries so you don’t lose the detail.

What I love here is how the sprays settle into all those tiny details — it really brings the pieces to life!

This has become my go-to technique when I want to colour resin pieces quickly and easily. It gives great coverage without needing lots of steps, and you can customise colours to match any project.  

✨️ Step 3– Finishing touches

Once dry, you can take it further by adding waxes or washes to enhance the details even more. This helps highlight all the texture and gives your pieces that extra depth and dimension. 

💡 Final thoughts

This was such a fun experiment and a great way to stretch my supplies. Using gesso means you create the 'tooth' needed to keep all that intricate detail while still getting beautiful colour from your sprays.

If you’ve only ever used your sprays on paper, I definitely recommend giving this a try — it’s an easy way to add custom colour to your resin pieces and make them perfectly match your projects.t needing lots of steps, and you can customise colours to match any project.
