Getting Inky 2

A very good morning lovely friends and followers and what do you have

planned for today?  Being Wednesday that means that it is a Dad

day so no time for crafting here.

Thank you for dropping by I really do appreciate your lovely company xxx

Today I would like to share with you some more "messy play".

These mini canvases had been being stroked far too long so I

decided to experiment with Pebeo Glass Paints.  These

paints are gorgeous but oh so sticky - I had to open another

packet of baby wipes!!

The canvases were primed with black Gesso and then

random splodges of glass paint followed by random bits of gilding 

flakes added - here's how they looked -  mmm not very inviting!!

 

so I decided to go in with stamping and heat embossing which in my albeit humble

opinion made them much more interesting -

and finally the embellishment - I have added on to my smash book which is in 

the process of being decorated, one has been added to a note book 

and I will probably give the other 2 away as mini

pieces of art sat on easels.

Thank you for visiting and until the next time love and hugs xxx

I would like to enter the noebook (top left) into the following challenges -

• Glitter n Sparkle - W - #136 Embossing Heat or Dry

Getting Inky 1

Afternoon lovely friends and followers from a sunny Lancashire and

thank you for visiting - I always enjoy reading your lovely comments xxx

This afternoon I would like to share a couple of projects which I am

describing as "getting inky"

Each month I take part in an ATC (Artist Trading Card) Swap

and this months' theme is "Take Two Colours".

When you see the photos you might wonder well there are a whole

lot more than just 2 colours - well more on that in a while.

Each of these cards started life using 2 colours from the Pebeo Ultimate Set

purchased from Crafters Companion a little while ago.

They were then stamped with similar colours and heat embossed and

finally stamped and heat embossed again with holographic embossing

powder and hence the multitude of colours!

What I love about doing something like this is giving myself the

permission to play and being amazed with the result.

Thank you for passing by and until the next time love and crafty hugs xxx
