Believe In Something Absurd...

...I have been playing again this morning. I have some of those lush Dylusions Sprays and haven't really had a chance to have a good old faff with them. So, when I should have been clearing out the Room of Stash, I was sitting getting inky instead. More of that in a mo.... So. The Sprays. The colours I used are Bubblegum Pink, Fresh Lime and Black Marble. I have been after a black spray for several yonks - using Black Soot Re-Inker in a mini mister of water works but for a proper pitch black spray, the Black Marble is the best. And the sprays... are... L.U.S.H!!!



I spritzed water right over the top of the tag and then misted the pink and lime colours onto it - where they mix they marble... cool effect (you can do that with Colorwashes too) A good old zap with a heat tool dries it all and then I got a bit exciteable and used a Dylusion Stencil (the one with the dots) and a baby wipe to remove some of the colour - it gives a bit of a bleachy effect. Once that was done I used the Dylusion diamond stencil and lightly misted Black Marble Spray over the top. I was very gentle with this bit because I didn't want to over-do the black. Once that had dried, I used the floral bit of the dotty stencil and went along the bottom of the tag with more Black Marble Spray.




The flowers are Prima's and I bobbed a little brass flowery thing in the layers too. Check out the leaves... they are a Crafty-Emblies wooden embellie that I coloured with the Fresh Lime spray - ooh and that reminds me... the Sunday Stamper this week is sponsored by Crafty-Emblies and there's a prize to be had! For all the deets, please CLICK HERE. Anyways... back to the tag. I used Jet Black Archival to stamp the sentiment onto a piece of card I had done the same spray technique on so it matches in. Each bit was cut out and layered onto 3d foam. The buttons are also Crafty-Emblies, coloured with the sprays. The final bit of spraying was the ribbon - it started out as white crinkle ribbon so I sprayed it and now it is black... cool huh?



So. The Room of Trash! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I seem to have developed a very good avoidance routine, meaning that for the past three days I have been whitting on, saying I will tidy it... and nope, not done it. Yesterday I found myself re-arranging the kitchen cupboard, the lengths I will go to to not start on my room is baaaaaad. SO. I have taken the bull by the proverbials and decided to show you just how bad my desk is... that way I will have NO excuse what-so-ever to not have it nice and tidy to show you tomorrow. Well, that's the plan, I may well be back here with head-hanging lol


Right, I shall away to give myself a good talking to, fancy having a lovely room and allowing it to get into this state! Thanks for looking... have a looooovely day! TTFN
