inspiration needed please

I remember seeing something on tv, where they used tomato sauce squeezy bottles, and spray bottles to make various patterns.

One of my friends has done a canvas for each person in the house, with their hand and footprints on...its very cool all the different sizes...

We're about to start doing this too actually
On a background of a kaisercraft colour called spearmint with chocolate brown prints. I think mine might be a reverse (choc brown with spearmint) but I'm not sure how that one's going to go - hence only one fo the 3 will be in that style :P

Thank-you for the inspiration ladies!!

I've just painted a blank canvas black using acrylic paints for my DD to paint however just need some help on types of paint and if my colour scheme is ok.

Paint - should I let her use Acrylic paints or is poster paint ok to use??

Colour - I was going to get her to use Red and Yellow or Red and Blue. Colours would done with drying time in-between
As I'm not very good with colours which would get the most dramatic effect on a Black background?

Thanks
