In a Flash


Over at the PaperArtsy blog Helen is back again and she's been playing with the Crunchy Waxed Kraft Paper.  She's showcased loads of techniques which you can find here.

I decided to use the very first one by painting it with nougat and irish cream fresco paints and I scrunched it up.  I then used another of the techniques by rubbing the surface with walnut distress ink and inking it off on another piece of card.

I'd also received my new (to me) T!m stamp plates so I had a play with those too. I stamped the light bulb 3 times, the last time onto acetate and painted the back with nougat fresco paint.  The heart is die cut from the metal card and stamped in black stazon with PA mini #44 script, as is the crown.  The bottom piece of crunchy waxed kraft paper is scrunched up and coloured with onyxite treasure gold.

Hi I'm Sam, 42, birthday in October - Any piece of art gratefully rec'd - Thanks. OH, Martin, been together 23 years and still no plans to get married!!! We love spending time with our pupster, especially when the weather is dry and we get to take him to the woods. I love any sort of crafting and would say that I am adventurous with new materials. We love going skiing in any winter resort, but mainly the States or Canada, they have better snow!! We lost our first beardie, Max, August 2006 at a ripe old age of 14 and 1/4. Since then Frazzie has come along, he is now 5 years and 10 months old and is still a little Bugger, Bugger!!! Unfortunately in December 2008 we lost Alfie at 14 months old after only having a short time of 7 weeks loving and caring for him. He found a good buddie in Fraz and loved him to bits.
