Altered Game Pieces

Added patterned paper, a tassel from an earlier make, gems to the green one and a bulb shaped safety pin to attach with.

Back to Basics

Created myself a masterboard.  I just kept going until I was happy with it.

I cut it up into two postcards, two tags and two atcs.

They looked a bit plain, so I added some dymo words and they are now finished.

Lynn Perrella is coming to town

Using my PA stamps designed by Lynn Perrella I created this collage. Once I'd completed the stamping, I coloured them in with gelatos and smudged and blended the colours. This is because Lynn Perrella is coming to the UK in September to take a 3 day workshop in Scotland so I thought I'd get in the mood.

Tags & Atcs

Had a play with some backgrounds today and made these tags. I coloured the images with my zig pens which I haven't used for a while.

A couple more with Lynn Perrella Paperartsy stamps and a compass stencil I bought ages ago but hadn't used until now.

And finally a couple of Atc's. I cut the Teesha Moore boy with the hair image in half and used one for each atc.

Oriental Surprise

Another play with alcohol inks. Blew the watermelon and pitch black inks around on the glossy card with a straw. Stamped the oriental images from PA onto white card and used the leftover pieces of acetate to cover them to add colour. 

Another entry for the PaperArtsy challenge.

Triptych Clocks

Over at PaperArtsy this week they have a theme of triptych, which basically means three-fold. Emma very kindly bought me the PA clock set of stamps for my birthday, so I decided to give them a try out.

The tag backgrounds are coloured with iced spruce and gathered twig distress inks and water splashed over them. The images are stamped in timber brown stazon. String was added and they were mounted onto black card.

I added a layer of decoart clear crackle to the clock faces and not only did I crack but it lightened the ink on the clock faces too.

Captured Memories

It's been such a dull and gloomy day that I wanted to get my bright and vibrant Dylusions out and have a play. I introduced a few stencils using DecoArt black and white gesso and the bump technique.

Next I switched to the DecoArt chalky paint and added more black and white through stencils. I also added the words to the heart in DecoArt black modeling paste for a raised texture.

Once the modeling paste was dry the heart needed some further attention. Black smudgy pencil but it wasn't dark and bold enough, so out came the portfolio pastels and the Clarity 'inspire' stamp and I thought it was finished.

Still the heart didn't feel finished, so I added some white dots between the two heart shapes and some black scribbley lines in the gap under the word memories and also some more stamping with a hash type stamps to fill in some gaps along with a couple of the Finn stamps. Now I think it's finished.
