So after one day of watching too much television the boredom set in, the best cure for that is crafting, especially when I had some new stash to play with. Oh the luxury of new paint brushes, but the next projects I'm going to share with you I didn't use a brush.
I decided to have a go with cut and dry foam after watching Leandra's Video's on you tube, if you need some inspiration pop over and have a look they certainly got me tapping.
I have used a combination of Paper Artsy, Indigo Blu and Stampers Anonymous stamps.
The flowers and leaves are from Indigo Blu's stamp Bloomin Great using Archival Ink Colbolt.
I have also stamped with Paper Artsy's Acrylic paint onto a Paper Artsy mini no 71.
I also tried with a different acrylic paint that wasn't chalk based but I was unable to blend them as well.
The watch face in the background is a Ink and the dog stamp Clocks Plate 1 and the car is from Tim Holtz Mini Muse CMS063.
This really is a fun technique Leandra calls it Corner Corner Side. The next thing on the agenda is to work on building up my layers, I don't like covering up a nice background but I always admire other peoples work.
I have also signed up for the Lifebook 2013 online course by the beautiful and very talented Tam of Willowing Arts, so far I have done the warmup page and stage 1 of the course and I am loving it. I have been using paints and pens that I had forgot I even had and never used because I didn't know how to. So here's to a new year of learning and exploring.
I would like to say a special thank you to all our customers and friends of the blog and Facebook for all the orders you make and the kind comments you give.
See you soon Sharon xx
I'm doing Lifebook too
