My next 'Ticketed Snippet '

 

Good Morning Ladies,  

Busy day today,  bladder clinic this morning,  fingers crossed that today of all days it goes smoothly,  I'm not convinced that this uti has cleared up, they check that today, so fingers crossed I'll know way one way or another.  Then Soph is taking me out for lunch, we are going to Becca's restaurant for dinner so that she can spend time with me too.  

We went and collected Becca's wedding dress and the Bridesmaids dresses from the seamstress, seeing their dresses fitting perfectly makes such a difference they looked beautiful.  

This is first of a new pair of Ticketed Snippets, this one used a different technique to colour the background,  I took some blue & green Tim Holtz watercolour pencils and used a pencil sharpener to get some 'shavings' from each colour, I took the Ticket stencil and used a permanent pen to trace round the inside, giving me the ticket outline, I placed the chevron stencil over the ticket and did one version with translucent texture paste and one with crackle texture paste.  With the stencil in place I sprinkled some of the shavings over the wet texture paste, I then set these to dry.  Once they were dry I spritzed them with water to get the colours to run onto the background. I dried them both, I did add some more of the pencil to the background and used a waterbrush to blend them in.  I cut around the outline and added some splatters, then added them to my little journal,  I added shading then added some extra chevrons, these were coloured by cleaning the stencil of residue paste with colour, I created three more backgrounds.  I stamped the little bird and added shading. All of the stencils and stamps are Tracey Evans. 

I will share its partner tomorrow.

I hope that you all have a great day, 

Love & hugs to all, 

Sandra xxx
