Inspired by Jo Myhill for PaperArtsy.

 I know... 2 posts in 1 day!

Get me!

Over on the PaperArtsy Blog Jo Myhill is guest designer. She has done 3 great projects!

I have tried to incorporate all 3 in my challenge piece.

My photos aren't great as it's dark now & have had to rely on artificial light. A lot of the detail in the background is lost!

 

 

I used Fresco Paints in

Toad Hall, Tinned Peas, Sage, Beach Hut, Mocha Mousse mixed with Brown Shed & Blood Orange.

I also used Archival Ink in Olive, Stazon Ink in Timber Brown & Distress Ink in Walnut Stain.

 

 

Crochet flower with flower from a necklace & some cogs.

 

 

Shrink plastic heart & tag with stitching.

 

 

Yes, I used Darcy's Stamps again!

I love them!

I would like to enter this for the PaperArtsy Challenge.

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by!

Edit: Here's some pics in daylight. I also decided to add some Treasure Gold in Olive Bronze.

 

Mail Art

 Hiya my lovelies!

I know its been a couple of weeks since I blogged...

It's half term so I'm off work & have found some time to do some art & blog!

 

I've been wanting to do some mail art for ages... I was inspired, as always, by Darcy Wilkinson. The gal's a genius & has designed some fab stamps! I saw her post on mail art here.

I won some of her stamps from PaperArtsy in a challenge (see ATC Post). I bought the other set too!

I wanted to use them for this project. I decided to make 9 postcards...

 

   

 

Each one is different. I have used some other stamps in with Darcy's too.

I used Dylusions Inks, Sharpie pens, a white POSCA pen, Archival ink & metallic pens.

 

 

Each one has a message...

 

 I was inspired to make some of my own stamps for this project too.

I saw Jenniebellie make some. She's a fab inspiration to me too. She uses recycling in her art & has a fab Etsy shop! I also love her YouTube channel I'm a bit of a Belliette!

Check out her stamp tutorial here.

I just stuck some string to some scrap plywood I had...

 

 

I have posted them to some of my followers on Twitter!

Watch your letterboxes ladies!

One of them will be getting the parcel below with something special inside...

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
