Paperartsy Pink and Orange Challenge

Quite a bit out of my comfort zone with this combination of colours . But here goes - nice to have time to play after Christmas cards, birthday cards and Save the date cards.

I started with a small tag onto which I'd stuck scraps of book pages. Next I scraped orchid and butternut fresco paint with an old credit card.  I then stencilled cosmic shimmer texture paste - which when heated bubbles and creates a fantastic texture. I also stencilled in some trees in a darker pink and stamped grasses along the bottom.  All that was then needed was a couple of cute owls to live in my rather bizarre coloured forest.

PA challenge Typography Fonts and Quotes #2

This is my second entry to the current PA challenge and quite different to my usual style - loads of colour in the background from some beautiful zingy frescos.  I've also stamped the word SING in matching distress inks after adding the white bricks.  The main image is from Visible Image - love her thumb print dress

I've put together a journal page using frescos and JOFY stamps - I love this verse and will give this page to a young friend who is battling cancer for the second time. I've also used a fine script stamps in the background which you can just see in these pictures.

Squares and Grids #2

This is my second entry for the current Paperartsy challenge see here for full details  - I hope this is allowed as there's not a drop of paint or stamp in sight.  I've been intending to make a little dust cover for my sewing machine for a while and this made my mind up on what to do.  I've put together a simple pattern of squares which is backed and slightly quilted also making it reversible..

Squares and Grids #1

Check out the Paperartsy blog for some wonderful inspiration for the current theme see here for details.  I've created a card for my friends birthday using different embossed papers for the grid background.  For a change I've used distress inks for my colouring instead of paint.  I've stamped and coloured some JOFY flowers as the focal point with a couple of die cut flourishes.

Paperartsy challenge - Die cuts #2

I needed a quick card for a friend so decided on the below that also tied in with the current challenge over at Paperartsy see here for full details

I made an easel card base first with the one of the nesting dies and covered with some pretty hot air balloon paper. For the balloon I painted space cadet and captain peacock frescos onto some scraps and die cut the balloon and attached to the backing. Next I cut Happy Birthday with my most used die and added a shadow.  Three little circles were the finishing touch to make the stopper.
