Starlight Express

Starlight Express

Morning all!

Getting excited now -

local folklore has it that

come the second Saturday 

in February you will have

your tea in daylight......

....Bring it on.........

Yes, ok, that's enough

Back to today and here

is Helen Chilton:

Hello everyone, Helen here with a post using 

the beautiful, shimmery Starlight paints.

Paint the papier mache house with gesso..

And then in Jade and Apple Green Starlight paint.

Stamp the Kaisercraft script stamp all over in 

Archival Watering Can grey.

Stamp the Four Poppies from Imagination Crafts in black. 

As the house has some 'give' in it, the easiest way is 

to not use a block so that you can really press down on the stamp.

Overpaint liberally with Emerald, Orange Oxidised and Bright Fuchsia

 paints and then heat to get them to bubble up.

Stencil over in Chartreuse using the Tim Holtz stencil Bricked.

Repeat over the top with Turquoise.

Cut a strip of card for the roof and, using Grunge Paste, 

stencil using the Kaisercraft Geo Quarters template.

Paint the roof with Chartreuse and Turquoise paints 

and add embellishments to finish.

Materials used:

Imagination Crafts stamp: Four Poppies
KaiserCraft texture stamp: Script
papier mache house
Starlight paints: Emerald, Orange Oxidised, turquoise, Apple Green, Chartreuse and Bright Fuchsia
Stencils: Tim Holtz Bricked; Kaisercraft Geo Quarters

Thank you Helen -

it really is a lovely project.

For anyone who has not tried

these paints please be aware

they should come with a health warning

as they are highly addictive and

you will want to use them everywhere!

There is a huge colour range and the paints are easy clean up too.

What more could you want?...............!!

'Til tomorrow
