July winners and our August tutorial ...

I will be announcing our July winners shortly but first I would like to introduce you to our August  Tips, Tricks and Techniques brought to you by team member Sue Smith.


Adding sparkle to your stencils by Sue Smith

For a fun, subtle sparkle to your stencilled background, try this technique below. I have used it make bubbles for a bath layout and one of children chasing bubbles.

Spray your background with colours and sprays of choice or leave blank.


Mix together a gel gloss medium (which dries clear) and some iridescent medium.

Lay your stencil on your page, spread over the mixture with a pallet knife or old debit card.

Leave to dry.


You will be left with a lovely, transparent, sheen, ready to decorate.


My two layouts, using this technique:



Cheers,  Sue 


and now onto our July winners .....

 We were working with this delightful painting by Elioth Gruner called Spring Frost Study.
The CRITERIA was a COUNTRY / RURAL theme
