Today's tag challenge was a challenge and a half!!! Those of you who have worked with sprays as backgrounds know how difficult it is to add layers and other mediums on top of them without the sprays being so dominant, particularly white!
Well I've been chained to my desk for a week trying to work this one out. I've used hair spray, gel medium, clear gesso and a lot of time and effort into trying to achieve the almost impossible LOL.
Anyway, in this tag challenge I have not succeeded in beating the sprays but watch out for the next post because the journal page based on this tag challenge worked, yes - SUCCESS! But only briefly unfortunately, it seems to be a hit and then a failure, then a failure, then a success. But I haven't given up!
