PaperArtsy Challenge 1 – Transparent Art

Posted in Cards, PaperArtsy Challenge, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , on January 17, 2016 by craftytrog

I’m sorry it’s been a bit quiet here lately. I’ve been making lots of DT samples for the upcoming trade shows.

I couldn’t resist using some of my previously made ‘caught in crystal’ background for the PaperArtsy Transparent Art Challenge, inspired by Wanda’s beautiful inspiration HERE. Wanda used Fresco paint, but mine was made with alcohol ink, glitter, micro beads and mica flakes. I spent a lovely day with my friend Lucy Edmondson, making this, a couple of years ago.

Here’s the card I made yesterday, using a Tim Holtz Sizzix clock die and some PaperArtsy Ink and The Dog stamps (Clocks 1 & 5)…

Thanks for the inspiration Wanda, I must try the technique out with the paint!

Happy Sunday,
