Flash back Friday 

Here is another project from 2013, for Imaginarium Designs

I have used purple here as my theme to 

match the dress on my daughter.

You either love or hate purple, me I love it, used 

properly Purple really pops!

The chipboard here is painted with a metallic 

crackle medium over top of white gesso.

The Butterfly is painted with white gesso, and then 

inked gently around the edges. Then 

I have covered the surface with Dimensional magic

and a light sprinkle of white glitter to enhance 

the colour.

I have also added rhinestone flourishes to the background

and painted them white along with all of 

the other textures. I just love this 

technique and it uses up old rhinestone elements

that are horrible colours.

The background has texture paste applied over it and then

painted with white gesso before spraying with 

purple and green spray inks.

I have added touches of crackle medium to the background too.

This is highlighted when you add the sprays.

Again this layout has stood the test of time 

and I still use it in displays, it shows 

what a great textured background can do 

to set up the rest of the page.

By adding gesso to other elements on the page

it has a seamless look 

Happy Crafting
