PaperArtsy challenge : Linda Cain

Linda Cain has done a wonderful project over at PaperArtsy this week, and inspired this card.


I followed Linda's instructions, using Fresco Paints in the same colours as she did, and Grunge Paste through my new Lin Brown Stencil.
The stamp in the background is Mini 96.
I added some Inca gold to highlight the flowers and used a dimensional pearl paint in the middle of the flowers.

PaperArtsy challenge : Joanne Wardle

Over at PaperArtsy this week, Joanne Wardle has been creating with her Quick and Simple style. I was inspired to make this card in that style

The stamp is from a set created for the Art Specially show in the Netherlands a few years ago. The words are from Hot Pick 1009 and the Fresco Paints are from the JOFY limited edition

PaperArtsy Challenge : Botanical Tag

Over at PaperArtsy this week, I was inspired by Brenda Brown's Botanical Tag.
For once I made something other than a card!

I used tissue paper to cover the tags, then painted with watered down Limited Edition JOFY paints.
The flower is from JOFY collection 14.  I painted it with Fresco Paints, then covered it with metallic glaze, and finally covered the flower head with glossy accents (you probably can't see any of that in the picture!)
For the butterflies I painted card, then punched the butterflies. The big one is stamped with Ink & the Dog Mini 44 (script) and they are all edged with black pen and then covered with glossy accents.
