Brayer Backgrounds and Voodoo

When Gelli printing I clean the acrylic paint from my brayer onto a sheet of paper as I think most do, these can make great backgrounds, the one below I glued to a book box.
I then started to decorate with my Skulduggery and Voodoo Stencils using Decoart Modelling Paste scraped through the Voodoo Stencil for dimension.

Here is the nearly finished Book Box.

Andy..... Oh P.S

Those on my workshop yesterday will recall that I painted my nails on one hand with Iridescent Pink paint??  Well I stopped at the Motorway services on the way home and was happily eating my burger when I noticed people staring, then giving me strange looks and muttering to one another.... Yep you guessed it... I forgot to scrub it off!!.... Hey just call me Twinkle in future..... actually don't!  lol!!
