Lin Browns stamps

I love the new stamps Lin Brown has created for Paperartsy.   I bought two lots last week end at Stamperama and a few more Fresco paints to add to my collection.  i am getting much braver and now am mixing colours more.  Really nice vintage style lace from Paperartsy too. Here are a few cards I made.

Hearts and Flowers

Here is my version of Hearts and Flowers for the Artistic Stamper February Challenge. Mine is done in Pan Pastels and Indigoblu Heart and flowers stamp, decorated with Ranger Enamel Elements. And a little heart embellishment I found.

Houses inspired by Linda

This is my interpretation of Linda Cain's house piece for Paperartsy.   I did not have anything in stock so had to make my own houses using Tim Holtz dies and a canvas board.  The colours I used are (no suprises here!!!) Peacoat, Mermaid Blue and White. The canvas started with Peacoat a bit of Mermaid and then some white. Stamped with the Paperartsy script mini, I also used this on the mini houses at the bottom, and used the Paperartsy flowers minis for inside the houses. The photo holds a secret!!!!! (The baby in the photo is me!!) I like the piece so much I have going to hang it somewhere in my home.

Craft Barn H

So here is my entry for letter H.  I have chosen H or horticulture "the art or science of gardening".

So I sprayed the background with Dylusions sprays and stamped with Jo Firth Youngs floral stamps across the double page and coloured with various mediums. I am pleased with the page, hope you like it too.  Thanks for looking.

Vintage Lady

Well as I didnt have a wooden item I could alter, I decided to diecut a Vintage Cabinet Shape and go from there.  The background is Peacoat, Mermaid and White, I know I use these colours alot but I only have a few Paperartsy paints, will hopefully get some more this weekend at Stamperama!!!!. The lady I found on Paperartsy stamp WW1 and the moths were from HP1006 and somewhere under there is the Paperartsy mini script stamp, which I thought I had lost, pleased I found it. Finished off with Liquid Pearls.

Welcome back Linda

I just have to say I love, love using Distressed Inks in this way and flowers as well, so up my street.

I have used Shaded Lilac, Salty Ocean, Dried Marigold, Crushed Olive and Squeezed Lemon, along with Jo Firth Youngs stamps which  again I love.   A little bit of white pen marking, I have tried to be a bit experimental and not copy!!!.  I must admit for my tag I did colour the ribbon with Shaded Lilac.

Hope you like.

Inspired by Helen at Paperartsy

Thanks for your inspiration this week Helen, had forgotten about the little pad of kraft glassine paper I had, sorry its not the Paperartsy version, but it works.  I used two colours this week, Mermaid and Autumn Fire. Autumn Fire covered the base and I add this to some texture paste to add texture, then a bit of puff paint, more Mermaid and as I final bit of bling Silver Liquid Leaf. The stamp is from HP1005. I painted one lot of glassine with Mermaid and the other I heated and added Perfect Pearls, gathered together with a jewel from way back when. To finish off a piece of wire etc.
