SOS 429: Make a mess!

Hello, fellow stash-shoppers!  Thanks for playing along with the last challenge, and happy to see you again!

This fortnight, we challenge you to MAKE A MESS!  We all have certain supplies that we shy away from using because of the mess or the clean-up involved... and so these items stay in our stash, too cool to get rid of.  Well, time to use them!  

Some ideas that come to mind: glitters, paints, sprays, splatter techniques, powdered pigments... you know what we're talking about!

Here is some inspiration from the design team:

Chris

I used a gel press and paint to make four cards from one print!

Lauren

I used my gel plate + paints + stencils to make a variety of prints

 that I then used like patterned paper

Cyndi

I used alcohol inks and alcohol lift ink

Chana

I used Stencils, Distress Inks, Glitter, Stickles, and Wet Glue

Barbara

First time using the Gelli plate, oxide inks and a stencil. 

Deena

I used stencils, oxide inks, sparkle spray and embossing powder

Mimi

I used my gel-plates and lots of paint and Mod-Podge

Can't wait to see what you mess-makers come up with!  

Link up your new messy project below, combining with no more than 12 other challenges, please.  Happy crafting!
