Runway

The Craft Barn weekly challenge is to use spray. I thought that would be pretty easy but the first part of the challenge was to find my sprays as I'd not used them in a while.

I found some Fireworks sprays in Angel Pink and London Fog, a nice colour combination but, those little bottle nozzles get clogged up so they needed a good wash. The pink did not spray, the result was more of a blot but I liked it so went with it. My white teapot also got a bit of a makeover as some of it ended up there as well. I have to say, I don't recommend these sprays.
I got a much better effect using the Tim Holtz distress spray. It is easier to control and the colour is richer.

For the challenge I have made two note cards. The sprays are used for the backgrounds on watercolour card.




Stamps used :
Tim Holtz Cityscapes CMS224
Tim Holtz Runway CMS214

I stamped the images onto the watercolour card and masked them before spritzing the backgrounds with the sprays. The sentiment on the London version is a die cut and Bonjour is stamped. The panels are mounted on Kraft card and a bit of baker twine added to finish them off.

More Runway and Cityscapes to come, currently work in progress.
