PaperArtsy Pink & Orange Challenge!

Hiya my lovelies!

Here's my post for the

1st PaperArtsy Challenge of the year!

The theme is Pink & Orange.

I thought I'd make a Masterboard to start with,

using Daler Rowney Mixed Media Paper.

I used PaperArtsy Fresco Paints in

Sherbert, Very Berry, Butternut,

Autumn Fire & Smoked Paprika.

This is my favourite method of breaking a blank

page. Just randomly squirt the colours

& spread out with a plastic card.

I then used Shabby Harlequin & Honeycomb

Creative Expresions Mini Stencils

& some sequinella with the Sherbert, Very Berry & Butternut.

I stamped PaperArtsy Frames with Archival ink in Watering Can.

I also added the small star flowers from JOFY13 using a

White POSCA pen. No photo of that, Sorry!

After it had dried, I cut the Masterboard

into 2 5x5 inch squares to make 2 cards. 

I had 2 pieces left over & will use them elsewhere.

I added some ribbon, a skeleton leaf & an Orange journaling spot

that I cut in half. I adhered them using Crafter's Companion

Stick & Stay. I added the word HAPPINESS using

Tiny Alphabet Stickers from HobbyCraft.

To this one I added a heart that I'd sponged the Butternut,

Very Berry & Sherbert

Fresco's, & a wooden LOVE that I saved from my brother's wedding!

Well, I couldn't bear them being wasted!

😉

I now have 2 cards that I can use.

Really need to make some more!

I'm glad I managed to enter the challenge.

I hope you enjoyed this post?

Let me know below.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

PaperArtsy Challenge Prize

Hiya!

 Hope you are all well!

A couple of weeks ago I entered a challenge at the PaperArtsy blog.

They had Darcy Wilkinson over as a guest designer...

(If you have time, checkout my Coaster post & my Coaster Holder post.)

Anyway...I won!

My prize was these fab stamps by Jo Firth-Young for PaperArtsy.

 

 

I had to use them straight away... as you do!

So, I made a couple of cards...

 

 

and then later on I made these canvasses...

 

I hope you like them!

Thanks for stopping by.
