PaperArtsy Challenge - Fragile Papers

There is a new format for the challenges on the PaperArtsy Blog. Over this 2 week period the theme is Fragile Papers.
I watched Leandra's videos (see here video1, video2, video3)
I decided to try the brayer method she showed on Tim Holtz tissue paper

 I used Fresco Paints (Beach Hut, South Pacific, Zesty Zing, Yellow Submarine, Claret, Snowflake)
The numbers stamp is Mini 22, and the script stamp I am no sure where it is from.

I used a piece of the creation to make a card. I put the tissue paper over black card (making the background look darker), and add the Lin Brown stamps ELB01 and ELB02.

Yes, I'm still making Christmas cards...

These two cards were inspired by Tim Holtz

My final PaperArtsy Challenge of 2014 - Claire Snowdon

On the last day, phew cutting it fine! This month's PaperArtsy challenge ends at 5pm today, so I have just made it.
For my inspiration, I chose Claire Snowdon. Have a look here to see her wonderful creation.

I love working with stencils, and PaperArtsy Fresco paint, so this was perfect for me

I used Fresco Paint (Sage and Vanilla) for the background
Then Chalk and Ice Blue through the Lin Brown ELB001 Stencil.
Mocha Mousse, Irish Cream and Vintage Lace through Lin Brown ELB004 stencil
Finally Vintage lace through  a feather stencil
The sentiment is from Hot Pick 1008, and the grass is from JOFY Collection 25

PaperArtsy Challenge : Jo Firth-Young

Over at PaperArtsy, the wonderful Jo Firth-Young has created a stunning card for us to use as inspiration
Here is my version

I used Fresco Paints in Dusty Teal and beach Hut, with French Roast for shading.
The Noel is a die cut from Tim Holtz, which has been embossed with gold
The baubles are from JOFY 03 Collection and the sentiment is from JOFY02

PaperArtsy Challenge : Wanda Hentges

Over at PaperArtsy the daily offerings are becoming seasonal and Christmassy! I have chosen Wanda Hentges' bright and cheerful Christmas tags as the inspiration for my card

The background is similar to Wanda's, using Fresco Paints in Guacamole and Sherbet, the white is Snowflake and the stamp is Mini 44.
The background leaves are from Tim Holtz, using Adirondak Lettuce.

The trees are from Egg & Nog 1, painted with  Guacamole and Rose.
