Inspired by Paperartsy

This week my contribution is inspired by all the posts from our guest designers, so many thanks to all.  I started out with a blank piece of greyboard  this was stipples with different Fresco paints and several bits of board left clear, then cover with distressed inks. The next stage as I had paint left over was to cover a piece of Kraft glassine with paint to make the flowers and a layer of stencilling, followed by some stamping with mini script and embossed in gold. I used Lin Browns stamps for the flowers, which I then embossed in clear. I finished the layout with clever little flower centres which I learnt how to make yesterday at Crafting Time at Shepreth, dots of glue from a hot glue glue, let go cold and covered in mica powder.  Treasure gold finished off the edges.


Thanks for looking!!!
