i have had this waiting around to be prettied for quite a few years and after doing the box in these papers i decided this was the range to do this in too.

another of my DT projects for July for Thompsonscraftsupplies

it is quite a large piece and holds 12 x 12 so is great for holding my latest collection as i am working through them, so it is now a permanent fixture on my desk. 

for this i used the 

13 arts color glow tanzanite

pentart wax purple

AB studio stencil ID 94

AB studio papers diva

Dina Wakley paints heather and fuschia

from my stash i also used a white gesso and a heavy paste.

i completely covered my piece with the white gesso and let it dry.

i then sponged over that with the heather and the fuchsia  paints.

i added some of the tanzanite her and there and activated it with water and then dried.

next was the papers, fussy cut and using gel medium glued them on all over the piece, even the half flowers from the edge of the papers were good as i had a lot of straight edges to place them.

i then coloured my heavy paste with a drop of the fuchsia paint and used this with my stencil, just overlapping the papers in places and filling the gaps in between my papers.

when this was dry i added some more of the color glow tanzanite powder and activated with water and moved the colours around, i then dried it with my heat gun, lastly i used my pentart wax to bring out more of the texture from the stencil paste.
