New PaperArtsy stamps by Sara Naumann arrived today, & needed inking! So I made a tag.
The set I used is ESN11.
For the background, I brayered concrete Fresco paint, then lightly brayered some highlights of chocolate pudding Fresco. I stamped the background images with potting soil archival. The hearts were stamped twice on a painty scrap, then cut out, & glued on the tag. I added some ribbon & lace to finish.
Happy Friday!

Hello Crafty Peeps! I’ve been busy making DT art, but I thought I’d best get my Tim tag done before August runs out. You can see Tim’s August Tag & tutorial HERE.
And here’s my version…

It’s Kate Yetter’s turn to inspire us on the PaperArtsy Blog this week, & I was inspired to try the techniques on her Project One HERE, where she altered a box frame. I followed Kate’s step by step, but decided to use PaperArtsy Lynne Perrella stamp set LPC028 for my project.
The lovely lady is stamped onto some of my hoarded PaperArtsy tissue, then painted on the reverse, & glued into the frame with glue & seal matte. I used watered down paprika & inky pool Fresco Finish paint for my drips, & to colour the images.
I’m linking my frame to the PaperArtsy Weekly Challenge.

Seth Apter was another of the guests on the PaperArtsy Blog this week, with a fabulous art journal page and tutorial, that you can see HERE.
I used slightly different colours to Seth. Like Seth, I started with a layer of black gesso, but then I used Bora Bora, Pumpkin Soup, & finished with some Autumn Fire on my initial background, stamping some text from Sara Naumann’s ESN05.
I then followed Seth’s step by step, stencilling with Chocolate Pudding & Antarctic FF, using Chutney FF paint over crackle glaze diagonally across the bottom, making marks with pens, & stamping with HPXTo1. I spritzed & dripped with Little Black Dress & Snowflake, making & using a face silhouette stencil from paper.
Here’s my final page…
The stencilled words are from a Wendy Vecchi template.
Here’s a closer look at all the fab layers…
