The one I have used for my tag is called " Swing" and it is inspired by Banksy and made by Bee Crafty I have matched it up with a tree from Indigo Blu.

The background has been made with Gelato's and a Tim Holtz stencil.

Hello to you all, I am sharing a Door Plaque with you today, I have taken inspiration from Jo Myhill and have up-cycled a piece of chipboard. I first gave it a good coating of Gesso once dry started brayering on Inky Pool,Sky and SnowFlake fresco paints just putting on very little paint and  letting the layers dry in-between finishing off with Snowflake, I have tried to give it a driftwood look and think I achieved this. (Love the Texture)

The stamps I have used are from Electica by Lin Brown , love this set and think I will get lots of use from them. Hope you like it

Paper Artsy and Paint

Hello to you all, I have been messing with Fresco paints and a brayer for this share.
Over on the Paper Artsy blog I was inspired by Lynne Moncrieff and her subtle background and use of flowers and mixing paints to get other colours.

 My background was actually made with a brayer after watching a video by Leandra of PaperArtsy and I loved the technique ....I used this background for my card and I used JOFY 24 stamp set for my images. I coloured them in with more Fresco paints and added a sentiment. I hope you like it.xxx
