Inspired by Tim

Hello to you all, I am here today with my post for the challenge over at PanPastel. The theme for this fortnight is
Inspired by Tim
I find Tim a bit grungy which I am not very good at, but this is what Tim has inspired me to do.

I have painted gesso to  the background of of a wooden 6inch x 3inch plaque then when dry covered with Phthalo blue Panpastel . After setting with hairspray I then lightly went over it with some Silver again setting in between layers to stop the colours blending....I dabbed some more Phthalo Blue through Tim's Burlap stencil and stuck down some of Tims tissue wrap with PVA glue ....I stamped the bush image with Black Versafine and clear embossed, I also repeated this for the sentiment.

Next I glued the diamond  cut outs and Tim's Bird and cage dies which I had tried to grunge with some pewter gilding wax.Lastly I added a burlap bow.xxx

There is a fab Prize up for grabs of a  mask and a Pan Pastel.....

A PanPastel Plaque

Hello to you all, I have been having another play with my PanPastels. I have made another wooden plaque..I first painted this with gesso and then black acrylic,when dry stamped up the image with Versamark and sponged over some Silver PanPastel. I then sponged some Versamark through a leaf stencil and again went over with some more PanPastel. The words were given the same treatment and then glued to the plaque. I finally finished this off by giving a couple of coats of watered down PVA glue to protect the surface.xxx

Stencil It No 2 for Country View

Hello it is time for my second  sample for Country View Crafts where the theme this month is 

"Stencil It"

I have made my background by sponging with Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks and then sprayed some water through the  Paper Artsy leaf stencil.

I then sponged some white acrylic paint through the Tim Holtz Burlap stencil.

On another piece of card I stamped my image with Black Versafine and then inked the edges with the same colours of Distress Inks

I have inked the edges with Black Soot Distress Inks to add some depth.

I then stamped my sentiment and attached to my cardblank.

I decided I didn't like the blank spaces so inked through the Paper Artsy leaf stencil again with Black Soot.

Wall Tag 28

Ooh I am slipping, I forgot my wall tag last week.....

 I have been busy with things to come so I do have a good excuse. 

 I started by colouring my tag with Victorian Velvet and Bundled Sage Distress inks then using the same inks dabbed through  a burlap stencil. I stamped a couple of images from The Briar Rose stamp sheet from Chocolate Baroque and the large moth I cut out from Tim Holtz tissue Wrap and stuck it down. I found the sentiment in a stamp sheet from Sheena Douglass

Paper Artsy Challenge

Hello to you all, I am back with another wooden plaque and Julie Nutting doll "Megan"....I have made this for the Paper Artsy Challenge, where you get inspiration for your work from one of the DT creations and I have got my inspiration from Teresa Abajo for the French connection and her backing .

I first painted my background with Chocolate Pudding and snowflake Fresco paints then tore some Tim Holtz tissue wrap and stuck it down in various places I then painted over with Inky Pool Fresco and when dry sanded the whole piece to distress it. I just couldn't add the Crackle Glaze as I don't have any. 

I then stamped some text stamps over the top and painted the edges with some snowflake fresco....Next I attached all my bits and pieces. I hope you like it.xxx

Chocolate Baroque "Green Harlequin"

Hello to you all, We have some fabulous new stamps that have just been released for July over at Chocolate Baroque.  I am sharing a card today made using one of  the stamps from the 

Harlequin Fragments

I have started by inking some white card with Antique Linen Distress Ink then using Evergreen Bough stamped my background. I inked the edges with some more Evergreen Bough and then edged with Black Soot.

I die-cut a small piece of green card and stamped the flower silhouette from the July Fairy stamp sheet twice without re-inking the stamp. Finally I stamped the sentiment  and mounted it onto foam pads.
