Counterfeit mess!

trying to get using my counterfeit kit today- I decided to use a technique I saw on the Studio Calico Blog last week- the Lo had a piece of patterned paper made by masking the paper with circles and and then misting over it to make a pattern.

I found a piece of paper that I thought I would never want to use and started punching circles out of it in three different sizes. As I started laying them out on the white card I suddenly realised that i liked the look of the effect I was creating and didn't really want to waste the circles by misting over them

So this LO was born ( not using my kit but hey)- the photo is from yesterday morning when my son played his first cricket match of the season. it s called freckles and fur- i think I need to work on lightening the photo a little
But back to the technique I wanted to try and my counterfeit kit- I punched out some more circles to attempt the effect I really wanted to try. I thought I'd use red mist to tie in with the papers in my kit but disaster- the mister bottle had seized up- it went everywhere apart from a few large blobs on the paper- just look at the picture of my hand below- I decided to work with it and use the cream mist I have- it couldn't get any worse and I thought it would be worth a practise- anyway you can see the result below

It worked out quite well- the red and cream mingled together nicely- I used some ( Portuguese-German ) dictionary pages from my kit along the bottom. and that gave me the idea for the title-" funny in any language"
