My Challenge is a Technique Challenge "Painting with Plastic"!!

I love to use paints on my backgrounds and I particularly love a watercolour look. An easy way to achieve this is by using plastic bags! This is certainly not my idea, I have seen this used a lot by many crafters but I thought I would give my take on it.

You will need some paints, sprays or inks (I particularly love to use watercolour pan paints - like my children use) some plastic (old plastic packaging is perfect, in a variety of sizes) and water. You will also need to apply gesso to your cardstock and let it dry.

Step 1: apply some paint to the plastic - use plenty of water

Step 2: Spray water on your gesso'd paper where you want to paint

Step 3: "stamp" the plastic onto your page and squish the paint around a bit

Step 4: lift the plastic

Step 5: repeat Steps 1-4 as necessary

Step 6: add another colour in the same way

Try experimenting with different sized plastic bags, using more/less water, using different kinds of paints or mists.

"In the Garden" is my inspiration page. I wanted the background to give an earthy muddy look to go with the gardening photos. I've also used some black paint to write my title.

I've used lots of D-lish Scraps yumminess on this page. Specifically brown bitty blooms,  a white mini PVC doilie, Freckled Fawn Wood Chip arrow paperclip and hearts and speech bubble wood veneer, a Kraft Tab, a mini peg, a black chevron bitty bag, and a shipping tag. I also made a flower out of green and pink coloured wire - it is very easy to do!

I've also stamped the date using a Pebbles roller date stamp, and a chevron stamp from the "Hello Arrows" stamp set from  Kellie Stamps.

I cant wait to see your take on this "Painting with Plastic" Technique Challenge. You have until Monday 14th July midnight AEST to upload your entries here.
