I'm late, I'm late...

Spring is in the air BUT it feels a little far away yet. So I had a little fun with this atc. My spring bunny happens to be from Alice in Wonderland. It's Stencil month at Altered Pages. 

I began by choosing a brick stencil and some homemade texture paste. Made from a mix of School glue (PVA in UK ) talcum powder and white paint.
I used a spatula tool to smooth the paste over the stencil and then left to dry overnight. I painted over with a coat of pale yellow acrylic paint and dried with heat gun.
When dry I chose a brown ink and using a sponge applicator, I sponged over the bricks in a random way so it varied the coverage.   It looks like old bricks.
I cut the paper to fit over an ATC size card as a base.

I chose some flowers, charms, etc from my stash and adhered. Then added the text using my Dymo labeler. I was pleased with the results it was a lot of fun.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
