There's a Starman ...

Hello, today we are kicking off the second week of the Frilly and Funkie challenge. The lovely Cec is our hostess and has chosen the theme of Sing, Sing, Sing. Here's what Cec has to say:

Make a shabby chic or vintage project with music as the central theme. You can add musical instruments, music paper, sentiments about music or even vintage images with a music theme.


When I first saw the theme for this challenge I was a little stumped, not having any musical stamps or anything else, or so I thought ....

Thinking about musical lyrics and also about the recent sad news about David Bowie I settled on one of his fabulous songs to use for inspiration. I die cut lots of stars from cardboard and glued them to my journa l page. 

I then used Ranger texture paste and spread it over the page and left it to dry overnight.

 The page was then painted with black Gesso and spritzed with Lindys Stamp Gang sprays. The colours don't show up too well in the above photo but they look beautiful in real life.

The stars that run diagonally across the page were rubbed with Wendy Vecchi gold embossing paste then sprinkled with Lindy's embossing powder. I then rummaged through my stash looking for a white spray and found a bottle with no label on it but it worked any way !

 I'd got a Tim Holtz mask from years ago which I spritzed the white spray over.

 To make the stars shine a little more I rubbed some Classic Treasure Gold around the shiny stars.

 I spritzed some white card with the same Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays then stamped the words......

There's a Starman waiting in the sky.....

This turned out to be quite a dark piece in the end but I love it ! I hope you get chance to join us for this challenge and do make sure you check out the rest of the DT's fabulous projects on the Frilly and Funkie blog.
