Step 1: Take a piece of the 12th teacup paper from the Domestic Goddess range as your background. Then use some texture paste mixed with some mist of your choice to add colour.

Step 4. Now take another mist preferably a translucent one, and colour in your circles by dipping a small paint brush into the mist. Dry well.

Step 6: Using some yellow watercolour paint and a brush, add some colour along your sewn line and then spray with water and allow small drips. Wipe away any excess drips if not desired.

Step 7: Now to add more pop of colour I used some dylusions yellow spray over a few areas of my yellow watercolour paint. I also removed the nozzle and used it to draw some lines and scratch marks.

Step 8: Time to add some stamping. I have used a script stamp and black archival ink to begin with, followed by the “Natures walk” clear stamps.

Step 9: I have now taken some various alphas and word stickers from the “alpha raspberry muffin and salt and pepper alphas “ from the Domestic Goddess range, and adhered along my yellow line.

Step 10: Now take the 12×12 element tags from the “love is in the air range”. I have already previously used a lot of theses tags but here we will use the outter part of the frames left over. Arrange them as I have. We will add some words as our title to one and a photo to the other.

Step 14: I have now added some black ink splatters with a small brush. I have used black bombay ink but you could use black paint if you wish. Make sure you cover your photo first.
