PaperArtsy Challenge : Time (again)

I was inspired to make another Time card for the PaperArtsy Challenge.

The background is brayered using Fresco Paints (Lake Wanaka, Tinned Peas, Inky Pool and Chalk). I then went over it with a watery solution of snowflake.
Stamped EEV02 Ellen Vargo circles in Smokey Grey Versafine
I stencilled Tim Holtz Cargo stencil with Snowflake paint
The stamps are (collage) HP1007 and (words) Clocks 5
I then highlighted/coloured the collage and words with Distress inks as watercolour : Shabby shutters, Peeled Paint and Peacock Feathers

PaperArtsy Challenge : Time

The new challenge over at PaperArtsy is Time
My card is inspired by Godelive Tijskens (aka Stamping Matilda). See her card here.

The background is made with Distress Inks : Old paper and Antique Linen
The main stamp is from  Stampers Anonymous and the quote is Tim Holtz
The background script is PaperArtsy Mini 44 and the Time stamps are from Clocks 5
The clock hands are metal pen nibs.

PaperArtsy Challnege : Stencils (another one)

I decided to make another card for the PaperArtsy challenge of Stencils.

This time I was inspired by Lin Brown, the queen of background stencilling.

Like Lin, I brayered the background with Fresco Paints in Honeydew, Haystack and Lilac. Then I stencilled with Chalk and Nougat paints, using sequin waste, ELB001 and  Mini Vine.
The stamps are all from JOFY 32, stamped, cut out and coloured with Prismacolor pencils and blended with Sansodor and paper stumps.

PaperArtsy challenge : Stencils

Over at PaperArtsy, the challenge is Stencils, and I have plenty of those :)
My card is inspired by Anna-Karin Evaldsson in the June 2015 Craft Stamper Magazine.

I started with Smoothy (heavy weight) stamping card, and covered it in
Irish Cream Fresco Paint.
The stencilling was done with Tim Holtz Cargo stencil, and the "bump" Fresco Paint colours are Chocolate pudding underneath, and Nougat on top. I used watered down Beach Hut to flick splotches on the card, and colour the stamped images
I used Distress Ink Gathered Twigs to smoosh around the edges, and stencil the circles (using sequin waste as the stencil).
The stamps are from HP 1110
Finally I added some hardware, in the form of the Tim Holtz clock (with hands) and the screw that was just in my "metal bits" box.

PaperArtsy Challenge : Words

The latest challenge at PaperArtsy is "Words"

I decided to use a lovely "Imagine" stamp (I do not know who it is made by) as my main focus. The card behind the stamp is Fresco Paint Moonlight.

For the main background I painted with Eggplant, then used a daisy stencil with Lilac. I washed it over with watered down Snowflake, and then stamped Snowflake and Ink&the Dog Mini 22
