I had a couple of minutes last night, so I took another look at one of Nat's Creative Jumpstart ideas. She used gloss gel medium as a resist by using a stencil and then when the gloss medium was dry she sprayed it with some spray inks.
Although my stencil was giving me trouble (very flimsy plastic, not best suited for this), I quite like the end result. Because the medium had leaked under the stencil, I used my Uniball Vision waterproof pen to outline the features of the stencil as well as the entire medium marks. That's the only pen I found worked really well on the gloss medium.
With greater care and a better stencil, I think this technique is fabulous for some lovely texture and shine!
Love your outcome gorgeoeus! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nat. I'm really enjoying going back and revisiting these great ideas on your blog.
DeleteI really love this effect. I'm thinking I could do it on fabric using a repositional spray on the stencil, a sponge brush to applythe matte medium and then brush on a transparent watercolor.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea Holly. I might have to try that too!
DeleteI need to check this out. Looks like fun.
