Though The Mask!

Good Morning Splodgers,

Well my plan worked....hung all of the washing outside and it finally rained..yippee. Now the sun may come back out with a little bit of fresh air.

I hope you all enjoyed the 'Summer Loving' week, quite apt for the lovely weather we had. Today is the start of a new week....

'Through the Mask'

So what do you use through your mask? Inks, sprays, embossing, doodling?? Well this week the DT team are going to share their projects and show us what they put through their masks.

Claire has sponged paint through the SplodgeAway Mask to create this brilliant ATC.

I used several different colours of paperartsy fresco paints on the background of the ATC. I then placed the SplodgeAway Swirly Lattice mask onto the ATC and added the blue paint. I then moved the stencil slightly and sponged through with white paint - the fresco white paint is opaque so you can't see the colours underneath therefore creating a shadow effect - this technique is called stencil bumping. I then sanded the ATC a little to distress it and this also allows some of the undercoats of paint to show through. The flower stamp and sentiment are a JOFY mini set and were coloured using the fresco paints also. Stencil bumping is a great technique and you can create some interesting effects by experimenting with different colour combinations.



Claire has done a great job on these ATCs. I have never used the Swirly Lattice Mask but this project has given me some inspiration. Thank you Claire. Check out Claire's blog for more fantastic work.

SplodgeAway is currently working on several new products which I am SO excited about....watch this space.

Thanks for calling by and see you all tomorrow,
