Atishoo Atishoo...

I know I know it's terrible, but I have now officially run out of titles for my blog posts lol.
I've been having a little play with a 6x6 piece of mdf, tissue paper and my Artistic Outpost stamps. I started by painting the mdf  with Irish Cream and Baltic Blue Fresco paints. Then a layer of Eco Green matte medium to stick down my 7 Gypsies tissue paper. 
The stamps are all from the Paris Exposition plate, and have been stamped onto a  old dress pattern which is a really aged brown colour.
The paper lace is one of Tim's strip dies.
I'm entering this into the Artistic Outpost  February Referral which is anything goes, and the
Pan Pastels Challenge  which is to use two colours.
The two men in my life are both watching Top Gear - where did I go wrong...
Thanks very much for looking x

    Gorgeous piece - the tissue paper looks lovely over those colours... Great to have you play along with us at Artistic Outpost. And I'd say if they're watching Top Gear and leaving you in peace to do some crafting, then you're doing okay!!

    I'm late blog hopping but it's less easy for me to follow you just in time because you have no newsletter subscription... Anyway, I always find the way to come Lol! What I see is fantastic, love the colors, your background and your very clever paper lace !!! Hugs, Coco xx
