PaperArtsy 2018 # ATC with ZA Sneak Peak

Hi everyone, Etsuko from Japan with you today, and I'd like to share with you some ATCs using new release stamps of our fabulous designer Elena Guzinska (Zinski Art). I love the Zinski Art characters and collage art techniques. I played with cute characters with same theme 'baking' on the small ATCs. For now, I cannot show you the stamps in full, but enjoy this taste of what is to come in just a few more sleeps!

' A happy day of spring'

I used stamps are ZA22, ZA23 (Happy day) and ZN26. Infusions are lemoncello, A Bit Jaded and Magenta.

'Valentine's Cupcake'

I wanted to make simple background using clear embossing powder and some of Seth's new paints. The stamp is ZN26 and Dust Teal, Haystack, all this with Seth's new paint set and Snowflakes.

 'Non stop crazy  bird'

I used ZA22, ZN25 stamps using Haystack, Sugar Plum,  Spanish Mulberry and Snowflakes Fresco Acrylic Paint on the top layer. And I using a tear off old map, some stamps, Seth's new paint set and Snowflakes Fresco paint and Lemoncello Infusion on the background.

'Creating ideas in cute polka dot pants' 

Cute stamps are SA22 and SN25.  The colours used Sugar Plum, Seth's new paint set, Haystack and Snowflakes Fresco paint also I using kraft paper to the background.

I really enjoyed making these ATCs. Given this project and using Zinski Art stamps has brought me great hope and I will try and learn a lot this year too!! This time I mixed up parts and collaged over background, but next time I will make using original design for the Valentine's card and Birthday card with the same colours combination.

Zinski Art stamps are very cute and unique, i think that various designs will be possible if you change colours and techniques. And during use you will also create Zinski Mania! Thank you so much joying with me, I'm very happy if you like my ATCs. See you soon!! 

Much love

PaperArtsy blog #Topic RUSTY EMBLEM with EAB

Hi everyone, it's Etsuko happy with you today, and I'd like to share with you ......

This time I put Alison's fabulous new stamp in the emblem and decorated with frame. And I made iron rust and patina with Fresco Paints. It is not so difficult to make patina but it was difficult to resemble iron rust, I added micro beads as a supplement.

I used Alison Bomber's EAB05 quote stamp

I wanted to give rust and winter atmosphere with simple color inside this frame.

I painted Smoked Paprika, Brown Shed, Blood Orange, Chocolate Pudding, Mud Splat and little Black Dress over and over on the white paper.

Then I embossed   Scrapcosy's ESC09 frames using 'seafoam white' embossing powder.

Next I made emblem stamped with Scrapcosy's ESC09 using  Apoxie clay. This clay becomes like a resin when it dried and it can make fine details. 

I made a patina on the emblem using Hey Pesto, Green Olive, Captain Peacock, Chocolate Pudding and Little Black DressFresco Chalk Paints and finished it with Treasure Gold. Also I made crackle using Space Cadet, Chalk and Crackle Glaze on the white card for the back ground.

I wanted to need some dimensional pieces to the emblem. Then I decided to make on white holly leaves using  Scrapcosy's ESC07 by Green Man,Olive Tree infusions and white embossing powder.

Finally I made the wintry background using Scrapcosy ESC07 stamp, and Distress Inks: Iced Spruce Oxide, Broken China Oxide, Vintage Photo ink, clear crack paste and micro beads.

And here is the finished sample. I used an Alison Bomber quote featured on the central emblem.

And I also made a couple of tags, also using Alison's Stamps

Eclectica {Alison Bomber} Set 03 as well as Set 05 featured at the top of this post.

I enjoyed mixing paint an ordinary way but there are various methods of rust and I am looking forward to seeing what you make. 

Thank you so much joining me and hope you like it.

2017 #12 Hybrid inks: Autumn box

2017 Topic #12 Hybrid inks

Hello everyone, It's Etsuko with you and it's wonderful to be back here on the PA blog tonight. I'd like to share with you the Autumn box project.

Theme is hybrid and I decided to use distress oxide ink pad with Raquel's beautiful new release line. First I imagined a vivid colours design but now is the end of August, so I decided to autumn colours. I was using it with a light brown line with a focus on distress oxide new color antique linen. And I tried using soldering metal to the focal point.

First I prepared 6 x 6 inch shadow box as the body and I cut the white paper of the same size around the box. (Before preparing paper I applied white gesso to the box and tried the effect of oxide but I could not get good results.)

I stamped Allison's quote stamp on a tissue paper, and tore it apart then I stuck randomly on the background.

I used white embossing powder by ESC05 leaf stamp, and Tim's Wrinkle-Free technique with oxides on white paper for the box frame.  Also I used PS 66 stencil on the surplus paper with grunge paste, when it dried I stamped ESC 04, ESC 05 stamps by potting soil archival.

The papers for the edges inside the box.

 

Finally I stamped ESC05 big mushroom on the hot soldering metal and I used alcohol ink and treasure gold. Then I stuck every peaces onto the box.

Raquel's all new stamps are very beautiful and she has posting many useful creations on her blog and youtube site.

Distress Oxide ink always delivers amazing results and entertains me, the combination of colors will spread the imagination. Why don't you try it?
Thank you so much joining me and hope you like it. I look forward to meeting you soon!!

Well come back!!

Hello friends thank you so much for coming. Over on the PA blog challenge is coming back and Topic 9 is Aqua which you can see fabulous Darcy's intro and many samples is here.  Also there are gorgeous GD's creations.

I made the wood tag using Seth's stamps, wood chip and die.

First of all I collaged with leftover blue colours papers onto the wood tag. And I used grunge paste with harlequin stencil on it. When the grunge paste dried I dripped Inky Pool with water.

Next I painted by Green Patina, Caribbean Sea and Hey Pesto Fresco on the Seth's circle wood chip then I stamped Seth's script and circle stamps with Mermaid and Inky Pool Fresco.

I die cut using Seth's dripping circle die by painted white paper. Cut the piece of copper and embossed the surface, painting Sharpie black and using embossing powder white by 'reverie' stamp. Stuck the all items on the wood tag. Finally I made spiral wire and stuck the upper.  

Always fascinated by aqua and I would like to make a satisfying aqua work.

Thank you again for stopping by.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Bois de Boulogne

Hello friends and welcome.

I made the piece using Scrapcosy's dahlia bouquet stamp.

I've used gesso onto the chipboard and using brayer by fresco paints. Once it dried I stamped by PA Linda's stamps it is the background. Next I stamped gorgeous Scrapcosy's dahlia bouquet onto the craft paper bag and filled with infusions. Finally I used Scrapcosy's stencil with mixed grange paste and fresco little black dress, and I stuck these laces. 
Thank you so much stopping by and have a nice days.
