PaperArtsy blog Challenge Chunky ATC with LPC by Liesbeth Fidder

Hello crafters and welcome here.
December is the busiest month for all crafters. But I do not even so lol.
The busiest day is from end of December to three days of January in Japan.
Also we make New Years card.
Over on PaperArtsy blog Liesbeth Fidder well come back and her marvelous project 'Chunky ATC' which you can see HERE.
I love her projects, especially I love her color scheme.
I followed her Chunky ATC and color scheme today.

I used chunky wooden block but it was not exactly ATC size.
Start I painted white gesso all over the wooden surface then I used grunge paste onto the wooden surface with self made cloud stencil. Then it dried, I painted the background with Beach hut,Toffee and some more Fresco Finish. Although I used Golden regular gel gloss with some stencil. 
I then stamped wings-plate-3 stamps (also I used opposite surface too.) with smoothy heavy weight card, painted with Fresco and fussy cut -made layers.

This is the opposite.

Both side, I used shrink plastic with Song Bird die and Darcy's stamps EDY10 leaves. I stamped Hot pick 1102 fern by Jet Black Archival onto background but it didn't work.

This is the top.
Finally I had use Treasure Gold white fire some places.

PaperArtsy project 'Winter Arch'

Hello, It's Etsuko here, I'm very happy to be invited to the PaperArtsy blog today. I live in small town Saga the west  of Japan. A year and a half ago, I was very shocked when I saw the youtube PA tutorial by Leandra. Exactly that was what I want. I'm crazy much to the PA stamps and Fresco paint from the time.

I used the lovely small arch.

So I started to filled with white gesso whole of the arch. Second layer of the front was I mixed gold glitter and Golden Heavy Gel then I used Lin Brown's ELB006 stencil  and I was sprayed with the Fresco Beach Hut.

I then starting with the back side, I used South Pacific as a base coat and then Hint of Mint over the top of the Fresco Crackle Glaze. And I made arch's bricks by plastic clay and stamped HP1107EZ onto the clay.

I painted the bricks and sticked by Golden Heavy Gel onto the back side.

After I stamped Lynne Perrella LPC006 tower onto the Smooth White card by Archival Jet Black, and I was to add some silver glitter to highlight the texture.

Finally I made front side, I stamped Lynne Perrella LPC028, LPC004 lovely lady and  flowers onto the Smooth White card I then some colored and fussy cut it. These colour were little bright so I used UTEE. NOEL is Lin Brown's Christmas stamp collection ELB11. And finished by adding some embellishments.

To used clay and Medium was very fun this time! And I'll more give it a go!!

I hope you've enjoyed the projects and I want see your beautiful things!!

And leave it for about one hour, I covered by matt medium then I stenciled by mixed regular matt gel and blue fresco paint. This texture is my first trial and I wanted to semi-transparent.

It will be dries to semi-transparent.

I cut boardwalk building and sweet girl and painted. Although I stamped beach houses onto the shrink plastic and made embellishments.
