Today I would like to share with you a project I created using a combination of new Imaginarium Designs Chipboard and the Industrial Chic set of mists designed by the fabulous Limor :)

However before I do that I would like to share with you a couple of photos that I took of the Lindy's Stamp Gang booth at CHA which I attended recently. I was fortunate to meet and chat with the owner and Limor. :) :) :)




This is the Industrial Chic set of mists that I used on my project, and yes I used all 5 colours to achieve the finish :)


So for a little bit of fun I decided to make a mask which features some newly designed chipboard that will be released soon. :)


To get this finish I actually started applying the mists whilst the white spray paint undercoat was still slightly wet. I have also applied some chunky embossing enamel between coats. 

Here are some close ups to see the effect I achieved :)




I must say that I was surprised how nice the finish came out, especially as I had started applying the mists whilst the white undercoat was still wet.

Well that is it from me for the moment, now please do hop to the next blog for some amazing Imaginarium Designs and Lindy's Stamp Gang Inspiration.

Cheers and happy blog hopping :)

Creative JumpStart 2014 :) :) :)

Hello Hello :)

Yes I am blogging :), it has been a busy time of the year for me and blogging unfortunately has taken a back seat to work [it is a busier time of the year for me with my work as I have been doing many many double shifts to make up for the seasonal nature of 'no work'], and health issues that needed to be sorted out.

As many of you who follow me on Facebook [yes there was time for social media LOL :)] know I have been very fortunate to be invited by Nathalie Kalbach to contribute to her amazing and inspiring creative venture Creative JumpStart 2014.


Here is what Nathalie has to say about this amazing inspiring venture :)
