Love the addition of the text fragments and Small Talk stickers. You have given me the courage to use my Distress sprays more as I rarely use them, time to get courageous and messy!

I also like the way you created the little panel to highlight the text. You have such great ideas!

That said, I use a gift box (you know, like a proper gift box that your grandma gave you pajamas in) for my "spray tray"... Bonus: 2-in-1, right? The 2"-high sides have been perfect for overspray. <br />Cheers! <br />Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073343261653457776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942594477231846319.post-22659398689937962702016-05-05T03:30:22.882-07:002016-05-05T03:30:22.882-07:00Love this piece!

I feel like I have more control with the dabbers and the stoopid spray parts are forever clogging even when I wipe them as Dyan and Tim both suggest.

I confess : I sprayed also the window of my kitchen with Distress sprays!

The solution for me when using spray stains is to place the piece in the bottom of my laundry sink (which is real deep). Clean-up is a snap.<br /><br />Love your artwork and L-O-V-E that stamp set. I like cutesy as much as the next but these images really speak to me. So glad they're available!<br /><br />Ditto Astrid, many of my stains have gone bad (including replacements) and I am hesitant to purchase any more so I just use my ink pads in ways that can mimic this effect.Beulah Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072708270008016323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942594477231846319.post-21399408944542092742016-05-04T13:54:20.850-07:002016-05-04T13:54:20.850-07:00Well I am glad you persevered, it's turned out...Well I am glad you persevered, it's turned out brilliant! I always spray on a large bit of cheap paper, it can be die cut if some of the overspill has turned out looking cool. I have to say I MUCH prefer the sprays over the old stains, you have more control, that's true, but almost all of my favourite vintage colours turned bright green. I got in touch with Ranger and got some replacements, but sadly they turned green again. I think the chemists at Ranger should really revisit them! Sorry, but I was quite upset at the time as I wasted a lot of money on things that are now gathering dust in a box....Astrid Macleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489025428063136772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942594477231846319.post-56884575280039120002016-05-04T13:48:30.332-07:002016-05-04T13:48:30.332-07:00I think the great thing about the sprays is that y...I think the great thing about the sprays is that you never really know where they will end up - but having ruined a few 'other' projects I now use an old pizza box as a 'spray booth'. I love how your experiment turned out though, the colours are wonderful in the background!

Inspired use of the Picket Fence Pen to create the inner of the box! and those hangers are now on my list of Wants! A wonderful project - please spray some more!
