Project: Color Wash Snowman Gift Pocket
Dina Wakley is back with another great project using Color Wash. She made this adorable gift pocket using Claudine Hellmuth Studio Sticky-Back Canvas...
...then made some circles with Matte Multi-Medium and sprayed on Adirondack Color Wash. The Multi-Medium acts as a resist and the Color Wash falls into the crevices. It gives the project a dynamic textured effect.
To see how the magic was made, here are the instructions. Don't forget to pay Dina's blog a visit for even more Color Wash creations!
Speaking of gifts...are you finished with your holiday gift shopping yet?
love it!

not finished with shopping yet,after 2 weeks of being sick I'm finally up to thinking about shopping. Oh well. I found some sticky back canvas in a little shop in PA in October and was just able to do something with it last weekend. I LOVE IT! Off to check out the blog for more ideas.
