Hello my lovely friends and
visitors, I hope your week is going well.
I have had a few projects on the go and thankfully I finally got to
finish and photograph one over the weekend and here it is …
This is about 10cm x 20cm
You can see the depth from the funky foam
A final look I hope you like it - we do!
I was inspired by the blue
& the flowers
A couple of
months ago the very lovely and mega talented Kim Costello (of Paperbabe stamps)
shared this awesome video tutorial. Kim
used a paper napkin to create fantastic texture on a MM piece of art and I
wanted to give it a go. I had DH
order me a specific design of paper napkins that I loved whilst doing
the online grocery shopping. The images on my napkins are very pretty however
they are very, very thick. I’d assumed that they were multiple ply and I
would be able to remove a layer or two.
This time I didn’t completely
follow Kim’s tutorial but I did learn something new, lol, and I will be trying
something different with these napkins in future. The chipboard I used was the last of a 12”
square thick piece that I recycled. Some
of my paper stash had gorgeous thick chipboard or similar packaging on the back
of the packs. I said had because I have
nabbed them all for my practicing so next I will start on the chipboard sheets
I won from Country View Crafts.
