Ladybug frame...

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share today's project with you all. 
During the course of today my family and I poped over to Tiptree and visited the cheap shop where I found a pack of three Artemio 5x7 cm fames, a mini spritzer and two stencil brushes.


I got the idea for this entry in Leandras first post on the PaperArtsy blog where she showed us what Jo Firth-Young (JOFY) had made with the PaperArtsy paints...it was a frame she decorated using a JOFY flower stencil.

Mine however uses stamps from Darcy set 13 (spotty-bean-thingy is used to create the ladybug (This was an idea Darcy blogged on her blog Art and Sole)) I was so inspired by this stroke of genius that I thought I'd give it a go!
The undercoat on the base of the frame is Guacamole and the top coat is Limelight...the small dotted details are just spots of China, Glass Blue and Smurf...with pearls!..oh yeah...and to finish it I varnished the whole thing with Satin Glaze:).

Hope you like this,
ArtymeB xxx.

Upcycled tin!..pencil pot stylie!..

Hi guys,
I would like to share with you todays project...upcycled tin inspired by PaperArtsy blogger Jo Myhill...I loved the idea of reinventing a tin to make it into whatever you want! 


The 'pencil' sign is intended to be paint splodged, it defiantly should be there;).
But I like how it turned out after the accident:). 
I painted the (once was dog food) tin with Smurf, a new PaperArtsy paint and the owl from JOFY 15 is painted with Amethyst (JOFY limited edition 2 paint).

Hope you like this,
ArtymeB xxx.

Just to say...

Hi everyone,

Today's project is this...a tag card I made with the new Paperartsy paints and stamps.



The two flower heads were made using the wing from the bird on EM 12, one of Darcys new stamps.
I can't really decide whos PaperArtsy post inspired me the most, all the ladies that have posted so far have showed various techniques, skill and especially colour!..I will try to adopt as many of those skills as possible over the next few days:).

Hope you like it,
ArtymeB xxx.
