Over on the PA blog Joanne Wardle has made a guest appearance with a clean and simple card which you can see here. I took the same approach but instead of a card, painted an mdf plaque and as you know, I don't do flowers, so chose the image off the PA I&D one penny #2 plate. I used Irish cream fresco paint for the background, I stamped the PA mini bricks in French roast and the splodges in a mix of mocha mousse and little black dress.
I found it really hard not to do anything else to it, but now I've left it and gone back to it, I'm really pleased with how it turned out.
I like this Sam the subtlety is lovely, great choice of colour xxx

Lovely card. Thanks for joining us @ paperartsy.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! I like the card imagination and she looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove your take on Clare's card!
ReplyDeleteLove your plaque Sam! Haven't seen any PA posts yet this week but I think I'm going to like Joanne's project judging by yours and Helen's gorgeous pieces. The stamps you have used are very effective in the background and I love the wings girl. The subtle colours are fab!
