Night Sky - Donna Gray
Hi everyone,
It's Donna here today and I thought I'd make a larger version of the sample tag I created for the launch of my very own Whimsical Summer stamp set but this time I've used an MDF door hanger instead.
Just take a look at all that yummy sparkle!!
I coated the door hanger with a layer of black Gesso, it's very important that you use black as the sprays' I was going to use on it will not show up on a light background.
This is what it looks like after the sprays have gone on and been dried. The sparkle and shine are unbelievable using the Sparklers Sprays. I used a mixture of the blue, green, purple and a touch of gold for a sort of Northern Lights effect.
Next step is to stamp the images from the Whimsical Summer set in black Archival ink on to some Strathmore mixed media paper. I used my beloved Zig clean colour pens for the colouring but any markers or indeed paints will do. Fussy cut them out and then cut a silhouette using a Cityscape die with patterned paper.
You adhere everything to the door hanger with a clear glue adding a sentiment and some stickles for a finishing touch.
Here it is hanging on the door in all it's sparkly glory, absolutely perfect for a child's room.....or even a grown up!!
Hope you like it

Like my home made spray booth? It's just a recycled cardboard box thats been cut to shape does the trick AND saves you coating everything around you when you go mad with the sprays!!
