PaperArtsy Monthly callenge Wintery Journalling by Alison Bomber}

Merry Christmas Crafters. Welcome to here.

Over on the PaperArtsy blog Alison Bomber well come back and her fabulous journal page project which you can see HERE. I was very inspired by her project that looks very simple but it has been precisely computed. Although I can not make like her but I tried to play along.

I always reminds me of the picture books 'the little mermaid' and 'Hansel and Gretel' that my mother bought me to Christmas when I was child. These books were lost but the fantasy world is still clearly in my memory.

This is my 'the little mermaid' panel.

Thank you for stopping by and good see you next year. Have a nice new year!!

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.

Thank you for dropping by... Have a wonderful Christmas month!!

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!!

Thank you so much.
