Fun In Milton Keynes With Lin Brown

Last week I went to Milton Keynes for a workshop with Lin Brown. I was lucky enough to also meet up with friends, Jo and Vonny.  Lin was her usual AMAZING self - if you haven't done a workshop with Lin I would highly recommend it as Lin is an amazing tutor.

Anyway..... we were lucky enough to use some of the new Paper Artsy stamps that are being released this weekend..... which is why I am not blogging my project until now. 

I won't show you how the project was made but will share my pages with you....

This is my front cover.  Yes, that is fabric.... and yes, it is the second time that Lin Brown has managed to get me to sew!!

In no particular order..... here are my other pages.

It really was a fabulous workshop.  I finished the project at home. But I really, really enjoyed it.

Hope you like my book.

Thanks for looking......

Paper Artsy Fun Part 3!

This time I used sets by 3 designers - Clare Lloyd, Emma Godfrey and Sara Naumann, stencil by Lin Brown and paints by Jo-Firth-Young

 

This picture shows the background I created using FF paints - the 1st limited edition by Jo Firth-Young - I adored these colours.

 

I stencilled the background in 2 colours and then stamped the stars.

 

The script from the Sara Naumann set was stamped in Chalk FF paint.

 

 

I then stamped the girl from the Clare Lloyd set and painted her.  Once happy, I cut her out and added her to the page. 

To finish I stamped and painted the greeting and the stamped a quote in Archival ink.

I was really pleased at how this turned out - and it goes to show that all of these amazing stamps work so well together.

Thanks for looking.

More Paper Artsy Fun!!

For this project I used the delicious Lin Brown stamps and paints.

As you can see I had great fun creating this!!

I created a brayed paint background using Lin Brown Limited Edition FF paint - these colours are to die for - I adore them!

I stamped a border all the way around which I then painted in the Limited Edition colours.

I then stamped the flower head directly to the card so I could then position the stem.

The flower head was the stamped onto separate card, painted and attached to the card.

The stem was also painted, this time in Tinned Paint FF.

I stamped the bud stamp in Tangerine Twist in various places and then another cute stamp in Archival.  The greeting was then stamped into the corner.

I really loved this card!!  I just adore the stamps, the paints.... just everything! LOL!

I then set out to use the houses set that Lin has designed...

The background was created in the same way as above, only using 2 colours.  The houses were stamped in Tangerine and then one painted in bright colours.

I punched and painted a heart and attached to the card.

The quote was then stamped in the corner to finish.

I really enjoyed using these stamps.... so many uses for them!!
