What Dreams May Come



I've been having a bit of a play over the last few days with some new Deco Art chalk paints, Andy Skinner stencils, Seth Apter dies, and lots of stamps.
I started by putting some DecoArt modeling paste through lots of stencils onto an A3 canvas. I'd put a couple of layers of paint on this previously, then chickened out because the size of it scared me.
I've just got some DecoArt Americana chalk paints, so I manned up, chose a few colours and started scraping!
A couple more colours and a bit of white pen and I was happy with the background. To be honest I could have just played at this bit forever.
I used the same colours to paint a couple of mixed media sheets, and stamped them with the Seth Apter PaperArtsy stamps. These were for the die cuts.
Here are the PA stamps again.
And some from Stampendous.
Some die cutting....
This one's my favourite.

 The quote is the title of a Robin Williams film from a few years ago. It was very dark and I didn't particulary like it, but it's stayed with me all this time, so perhaps that's the sign of a really good film.

 I'm entering this into the 'anything weird or creepy' challenge at Dream in Darkness,  the TIMI Anything Goes challenge at  Craft Stamper, and the Put A Stencil On It challenge over at Mixed Media Monthly 
Thanks very much for looking, and have a great week x

    I definitely don't think it is creepy -- I think your creation is quite pretty as well as interesting. I really like it!

    Fabulous! I love how you just followed your instincts. The layers and textures are amazing. Brilliant use of the stamps and die-cuts, especially those letters which I realise I've not had out for ages! The film title is taken from the To be or not to be... speech from Hamlet - so it may not have been a good film, but they had a good writer for the title!

    I absolutely adore this! You have achieved stunning layers in this amazing Mixed Media Canvas. It is scary when you start adding new layers but look what happens when you go with it! Thank you for sharing with us at Mixed Media Monthly Challenge. Clare DT
