Growing Wings

Hi everyone!

 Welcome back to the last Paperartsy Creation. As you all will know if you have seen my previous posts, I was asked by Darcy Wilkinson to make some samples with her new stamps she designed for Paperartsy. I was thrilled to do so and had so much fun - these stamps are amazing!!!

Here is the second creation made I made with this stamp set....

....and these are the Fresco Paint colours I worked with...

Quite a different creation to my last post!

This time I focused on the moth stamp...

I started with the background which was coloured with Distress inks. I used Wild Honey DI at the top and blended down through Spiced Marmalade DI and finished with Fired Brick DI.

Then I stamped the quote stamp with Tango Fresco Paint.

I painted the blue Fresco paints (Smurf, China and Baltic Blue) onto a piece of card, not blending the paint at all. Then I stamped the moth image onto it and cut around it. I then covered it with Clear embossing ink and powder to give an enameled effect.

I curled some black wire into antenna for the moth

I added some white details with white acrylic paint

I stamped the branches with white acrylic paint and then dabbed the end of a paintbrush into pools of all three blue paints (Smurf, China and Baltic Blue). Dabbing paint with the end of the paint brush rather than the brush end gives neater dots of paint.

Spiced Marmalade and Fired Brick DI were blended together onto card and the quote was stamped with Jet Black Archival ink.,. This was mounted onto white card which was then mounted onto card that had been painted with China Fresco Paint.

And here is my finished creation....

And sadly it is time to say "That's all Folks!"....We have come to the end of my Paperartsy creations.
I will definitely be using these stamps sets again so you will see further creations featuring these gorgeous images.

Thanks so much for being here to watch the Paperartsy creations! I have had a wonderful time on a very creative journey!

And a huge thank you to Darcy.....xxxxxxxxxxxx

Let Love Grow

Hi everyone!

 Welcome back to another Paperartsy Creation. As you all will know if you have seen my previous posts, I was asked by Darcy Wilkinson to make some samples with her new stamps she designed for Paperartsy. I was thrilled to do so and had so much fun - these stamps are amazing!!!

Here is the first creation made I made with this stamp set....

....and these are the Fresco Paint colours I worked with...

I had so much fun making this - I wanted the background to be very delicate and blended in so it was made with more ink than paint...

First of all the gorgeous red poppy style flowers....I wanted them to be poppies so I used Cherry Red Fresco Paint onto white card and then stamped the flower using Jet Black Archival ink. I used the circle with the cross-hatch pattern inside to add texture to the center of the flowers

 I stamped some smaller flowers using the plain circle stamps - I stamped a loop of four circles.

 I then stamped some circles that had a cross-hatch pattern inside. I used some of these as flower buds and some as the center of the half grown blooms.

To make the background I used Faded Jeans Distress ink leaving the center un-inked. 

I then used the leaf stamp to add depth to the image by stamping with Tumbled Glass DI first of all further into the background and making the foreground darker by stamping the leaves with Faded Jeans DI.

I wanted clouds in the sky so I used all of the circles with white ink and sprinkled it with white embossing ink and heating.

 The branches were then stamped onto the background using Faded Jeans Distress Ink.

I covered over the dots on the branches with Tango Fresco Paint blobs by dipping the end of a paint brush in the paint and dabbing the dots.

This gives a neater 'blob' than applying the paint with a brush.

When this was dry the flowers were stuck into the garden.

The quote was stamped with Jet Black Archival ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.

And there is my finished creation!  - Hope you like it!

Fire and Ice

 Welcome back to another Paperartsy Creation. As you all will know if you have seen my previous posts, I was asked by Darcy Wilkinson to make some samples with her new stamps she designed for Paperartsy. I was thrilled to do so and had so much fun - these stamps are amazing!!!


 Here is one of the fantastic stamp sets Darcy designed for Paperartsy

....and these are the Fresco Paint colours I worked with...

My last post was where I showed you a creation I made with this gorgeous stamp set....

....and today I am here to show you the other creation I made with this stamp set.....

For this design I brayered a mix of Tango and Cherry Red Fresco Paint over a piece of white card. I wanted it to have texture so I left some streaks of white in it and dabbed it with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink when dry. Then I stamped the flower images and quote over it using Cherry Red Fresco Paint

 I stamped the smaller of the two flower images using Jet Black Archival ink onto card that had been painted with China Blue Fresco Paint. I also decided to use some of the leftover orange background - So I added the the quote again to the background stamping it with Smurf Fresco paint. Then I stamped the flower using Jet Black Archival ink. I cut the flower up and used the segments behind the blue flower.

 I stamped the stems with Smurf Fresco paint onto the background

 I used some of the paint leftover on a brayer to add some orange streaks to some white card. Then I dabbed it with Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. I then added Smurf and Baltic Blue Fresco paint to the craft mat and rolled with a brayer. I dabbed the quote stamp into this and stamped it onto the card - getting an ombre effect. The edge of the quote was dabbed with Smurf Fresco paint using a finger to smear the paint around the edge.

The whole creation then had a mix of Smurf and China Fresco paint smeared around the edge of the creation to match the quote.

Hope you like it! Why not take a closer look at these gorgeous stamp sets that Darcy has designed. All these new stamps are available to buy now from a PaperArtsy retailer listed here.

Colours of Love

Hi everyone!

 Welcome back to another Paperartsy Creation. As you all will know if you have seen my previous posts I was asked by Darcy Wilkinson to make some samples with her new stamps she designed for Paperartsy. I was thrilled to do so and had so much fun - these stamps are amazing!!!


 Here is the set I used for todays creation...

.....these are the Fresco Paint colours I worked with...

...and this is what I made...

I loved the stamp set straight away...the flowers are GORGEOUS! I love that they are delicate and feminine but have a slight grungy industrial look to them too...Perfect for so many different creations and styles.

I started by stamping the flowers with Jet Black Archival ink onto card that had been painted with Tango, Smurf and Baltic blue Fresco paints. I had stamped over the Baltic blue painted card with Smurf and Cherry Red Fresco Paint using the quote stamp

I also stamped the center of the flowers onto the painted card and cut them out and attached them to the flowers.

The background was painted with diluted Smurf Fresco paint. Then I used the flower stamps with undiluted Smurf Fresco paint, dabbing them across the background. To add depth to this background I added some Baltic Blue Fresco paint to the Smurf paint to darken it slightly and then adding more stamping.

I painted a piece of card with Smurf Fresco Paint and then stamped the quote using Cornflower Blue Archival ink. I then sprinkled it with embossing powder and heated it until it melted. I dabbed the edge of the quote with Stormy Sky Distress ink before mounting it onto card that had been painted with Baltic Blue Fresco Paint.

The whole creation was then mounted onto card that had been painted with Baltic Blue Fresco Paint. I used an embossing pen to add black dots along the sides.

And there it is.....I hope you like the finished creation!
