Bubbles & Fish

Hi everyone Dee here with a couple of altered beer mats. Looking at 

the photos it looks a bit dark but it actually is quite pale.

Firstly I put texture paste through a stencil when dry covered 

it in a coat of gesso or thick cream paint if you don't 

have gesso.

Next I used the paint in pale blue, green, pink violet & orange.

Spritz each colour as you apply it drying in-between. 

Once happy with the result stamp the random dots from the boarders plate 

& the 3 large circles from swirls splats and dots plate in black

 archival ink. Colour the dots on the small open dots images with a

white gel pen and the large circles use gesso to colour.

take a fine black pitt pen and scribble a zigzag line round the larger circles.

To finish the effect apply the Black Soot Distress Spray and

activate with water. 

Stamp the fish image from the sea side 1 plate on white card and cut in half.

use the glitter paste see below around the edges. Also use it through 

the circle stencil, along with crackle paste colour with

a silver wax.

Swipe the edges with silver once finished.

That's it for today folks I hope

you enjoyed it.

Cheers Dee x
