Paperartsy

If you were on Twitter last night you may have seen this ...

A dimensional flower made from Paperartsy stamps and dies ... I quite liked how it turned out so gave it a home this morning ...

The tag is coloured using Paperartsy Fresco Finish paints. I have added some Paperartsy Grunge Paste through a stencil to add textue, some background stamping and Paperartsy Treasure Gold in Aquamarine to highlight the raised reas and the edges of the petals. The colours are a bit closer in 'real life' - I only have a few of the paint colours so getting a close mix was tough.

If you haven't visited Paperartsy recently get on over to their blog - they've had a 10th birthday party all this month with some brilliant projects by guest designers and technique videos from Leandra - Mrs Paperartsy herself.

Tag Tuesday

... even though it's Thursday!

Tag Tuesday has been started by an extremely talented textile artist Carolyn ... check her out here and here.

This is my entry this week for Tag Tuesday where the theme is 'Snow sports and games'. i am this woman in another life.

The background is adapted from a blog post by Lin . The tag is covered in small strips of torn masking tape and then is  'dipped' into puddles of acrylic paint. I have added gesso, snowflakes, Diamond Dust and Stickles.

Tag Tuesday

Here is my mixed media entry for Tag Tuesday - a new challenge blog - the theme is 'snow'. The base of the tag is felt with watercolour paper on the top and although the photograph doesn't show it too well it is quite shimmery. Silver thread has been used to highlight the snowflakes and beads and clear sequins sewn on to add more texture.
