Mixed Media With Autumnal Hues - Project 2

Hi again,  today I am showing you my second project for Country View Challenges this month.

My second project is a mini canvas board, using canvas, fabric, paint, paper, stamps and metal - pretty much mixed media!!

I started by painting a scrap of Tim Holtz elements fabric using PaperArtsy paints.

I loved how well the colours blended onto the fabric, and the colours look very Autumnal.  I glued this onto a canvas board and added a doily to the centre and set this aside.

Next, I brayered a scrap of card stock using the same colours and stamped Emma Godfrey leaves onto it, cutting them out once dry.

I really liked how these leaves turned out - they are so imperfect that they are perfect (well I think so anyway!!).

I then assembled them into a flower shape on the doily.  I curved the leaves and gave them dimension.

To finish, I added a metal button embellishment and drew a scribble border.

Don't forget that you still have chance to enter the Challenge  this month and there is a £20 voucher up for grabs to one lucky person.

Thanks for joining me today.......

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.
