Can't resist

Lots of the Creative JumpStarts this year use stencils and/or sprays. I LOVE this since they are 2 of my favourite art supplies.
Louise Nelson demonstrated a really cool idea for a crackle effect with modeling paste. Since I don't have a crackle stamp, this is my take on the technique. Click on the picture to see the detail properly.

Modeling paste impressed with stamps

This is how it looks with sprays added - some of them were starburst sprays which give a wonderful shimmer.

Nathalie Kalbach (the organiser of the Jumpstarts) has demonstrated several techniques with different mediums.
This is a foam stamp combined with a stencil

Like the idea, although not enthralled with this initial trial. But I do like the completed page.

And thanks to her, I actually CAN resist ;-) ....this is gel medium through a stencil

and here's what happens when you spray and rub over the top. 

A very successful trial I must say.
