Gingersnap Creations - Spicy Supply Challenge

At Gingersnap Creations there is a 'Spicy Supply Challenge' to use mists. My fingers were still stained from using colour washes for Linda's Grungy Monday challenge earlier this week, but I was most definitely up for more spraying.

This time I used layers of Dylusions ink sprays in Fuchsia, Sky Blue, Hot Pink and Burnt Orange on white card, together with the Dylusions Fuchsia mica spray and Glimmer Mist in Sweet Pea and Candlelight. Towards the end of the spraying I placed sequin waste and a Tattered Angels mask on the card to create a patterned background.

I wanted to make some Easter cards, but didn't trust myself to draw decent oval shapes for eggs. Luckily I found a free template at a website called First Palette and printed the eggs on to some card, cut them out and gave them the same spray treatment as the background. Then I embossed them with my favourite Ranger gold powder (love the smell of the melting powder too), and Viva Decor swirl stamps. I rubbed the back of each of the 'eggs' with a large headed embossing tool to get the card to curl a bit and look more egg-like. I cut a piece of the background card, and ran it through the Big Shot with a border embossing folder, and then mounted the 'eggs' and the 'Happy Easter' on the card with large sticky pads. Couldn't resist photographing the finished article with today's haul from the henhouses.

Still got background card and eggs left to do some more cards.
