 Step 1. Dry brush your main base color leaving white areas. Allow to dry part way. |  Step 2. Add your next color filling in some of the white areas you left previously. Again allow to dry part way. |
 Part 3. Add color #3 dry brushing a cross hatch pattern here and there. |  Part 4. Here I've used a sponge roller that came sectioned out to add stripes...I've rolled it in different directions to help distribute more of the paint...be careful not to over mix the colors though. |
 Step 5. Next I stamped randomly using a foam stamp a green color. |  Step 6. I stamped using white & a flower stamp and then yellow and a triangle foam stamp. |
 Step 7. Using an old toothbrush and some dark pink that's been watered down flick sprinkles onto your paper...careful you don't overload the brush. |  Here's two finished backgrounds.  |
 Once completely dry I've cut the paper up to use for a project. Notice how different each piece looks cut. |  Here's the backside of the paper I dry brushed with the left over dark pink...once dry I then used the stripping roller to roll some bright green stripes. |
Happy Mother's Day to all you mother's out there!
Here's another project idea for a Mothers or Father's day gift idea!
I finally found something to do with all the drink coasters I've Here are a couple of pictures of 3 of my 4 guys working on my
requestedMother's Day project. Its the one day out of the year that I specifically ask for a project I would like done instead of a gift. In past years they have surprised me with things they have built (chairs, brick walkways and, planters).
This year I asked to have our arbor/arch
that sits at the opening of the walkway to our front door painted orange to go with the soon to be painted front door.
They now resemble a close likeness to Oompa Loompas from the orange over-spray LOL
My son and hubby gifted me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers they picked while out on a bike ride today. I thought my son did a great job arranging them in the vase.
finally gave myself permission to play....do you ever do this to yourself? I'm forever telling myself that I have to do such and such first before I can play....I suppose if I didn't do this I would just play all the time and never get anything else accomplished.
I knew I wanted to use the color combination that I did, I just wasn't sure what I was going to put into the cubbies, but it eventually came together as I used up things I've had.
