Monochromatic Abstract

Hi everyone. I am back over at PaperArtsy again this evening for my second creation for the current theme - Dark to Light / Contrasts. A little simpler this time - I have used PaperArtsy stamps and stencils to create this black and white abstract piece.

If you missed my first post you can find the details here.

Back tomorrow with my latest project for That's Crafty.

Hot Summer Ombre

Happy Tuesday! Are you playing over at Country View Crafts this month? The theme is Hot Summer Days and I have created an ombre effect for this card using Distress Inks - lots of blending and avoiding finger prints!

Having created my background I heat dryed and stamped Emma Godfrey's flowers in archival and removed some of the ink with a water brush.

I then added ink back using the same three colours.

I added some highlights with my white pen, a little dragonfly from my stash and mounted my card.

Pretty pastel wall plaques and CVC Big shot prize reminder!

We are reaching the end of our Stencil it challenge at Country View Crafts - but there is still time for one more project to share!

This time I have used wooden plaques - a great surface to paint, stamp, stencil and doodle on. I gave them a coat of gesso and added a pastel base colour (PaperArtsy Fresco paints).  I then just randomly stencilled with differing colours and stencils.

I dont have any process shots but it was similar to my sparkly canvas - and also the cards I shared on the CVC project blog earlier in the week.

A few close ups:

Reminder - there a chance to win a BIG SHOT bundle at CVC this month - just two days to go if you would like to enter.

See you next week for new challenges!

Blooming with Emma Godfrey

Hi everyone... with all the new releases this time of year it is hard to chose what to have and what not to have! I decided to broaden my stamp collection and purchased some Emma Godfrey stamps (Paper Artsy). The intention is to start a bit of journalling but for now I have a card made with her new stamp set. I am sharing this over at Country View Crafts today.

Back tomorrow with some more cards!
