6 x 6 chipboard panel, from Lynne Perrella collection.

Hello crafters and welcome to my blog.
I made many panels this week that  wasn't nice result. Today I had try again, it was pretty good. I took 6 x 6 chipboard,   I used Bora Bora fresco as a base coat and then Snowflake fresco over the top of Crackle Glaze. I then used TCW stencil with Bora Bora, Taup and Snowflake Fresco onto the chipboard. But I wanted some texture the upper and left side onto the chipboard, then used Grunge Paste and Lake wanaka fresco with some TH stencil. That is background. I stamped Lynne Perrella lady LPC013 onto some tissue paper and painted. After the tissue paper dried I glued by Stain Glaze onto the background. I made some embellishments and I have stacked the all of them onto the background. This is the finished.
I want to make more colorful project but It was still difficult for me. I need more practice.

Thank you for stopping by.  Have a nice weekend.

Hello crafters and welcome.
Over on PaperArtsy blog Helen Chilton made lovely canvas, I was inspired by her then I followed and I played along with her project. Her wonderful canvas which you can see here.

I followed to her the all techniques with my board. I used the three colours Archival Inks onto the tissue paper. then used Satin Glaze to stick it to grey white board.

 I then knocked it back with a wash of Nougat fresco.

 And then sprayed  South Pacific, Pumpkin Soup and Eggplant fresco with mini bottle.--I haven't any Dylusions sprays---I have to...

I then painted Nougat with water onto the board and rubbed at it with an old towel as she did. I was a little broken why I rubbed too strong. But It was really fun to make the background.

I stamped Darcy's collection onto tissue paper and painted, then used Satin Glaze to stick it to the background. I used EM05 and EDY05 Darcy's stamps.
I then used Grunge Paste with Bora Bora fresco and Lin Brown stencil ELB001.
Finally I used Llynne Perrella script LPC028 and Mini18 to background, and some Treasure Gold. 
I really like Helen's project, she is a artist, I feel she loves all object and fabulous colours. Thank you for sharing us and I'm looking forward to your project.
