PaperArtsy Topic 6: Grunge Paste

Over on the PA blog new topic No6 is 'Grunge Paste' it's very interest
 and Leandra's wonderful video is here. 

Starting with the grey white board 5x7" - I used French Roast as 
a base coat and then Turquoise Fresco over the top of Crackle Glaze.

Then I used my favorite stencil PS006 with Grunge Paste.

It was very happy so far. And so sorry for the another pictures.

I forgot to take a photo that I had to try again many times next steps.

I stamped Lynne Perrella new LPC033 onto the Smoothy Heavy Stamp card and painted by Fresco. I then made the layers with some painted embellishments onto the grey white board.

I used Grange Past with painting knife onto the corrugated paper I then painted Mocha Mousse, Cinnamon and French Roast Fresco. After I used stencil PS001 with some micro beads and matte gel onto the corrugated paper. And painted embellishments. 

This is finished.

Over on the Dragons Dream TIO blog sweet Julie Ann has chosen the theme of "Toffee and Lace" and Julie Ann's wonderful tag and Dragon's designer's brilliant tags which you can see HERE. 


I brayered the toffee fresco colour onto the 8 tag and I then used the bubble stencil with mixed 3D gloss Gel and micro beads in the upper half of the tag. 

And I was glued the white lace to the lower half. These are background.
I stamped Finnabair's new stamp onto the white stamp card by Archival Jet Black and fussy cut. I couldn't decide whether to paint or not to this. But finally I was thinly coloring. And I was glued them to the background.
I wanted to use a new stamp and in the spring-like atmosphere this time.

PA topic No.5 'Deconstruction' Tag ATC Folder'

Hello friends and welcome.
Over on the PA blog topic No5 the new topic is 'Deconstruction' I never heard this word and I checked Leandra's video. Soon I tried to make first one 'Tag ATC Folder'.
I was very inspired by Jo's topic no.4 ' Hidden words '. It was very nice mini book and the cover was like a special antique skin. Also I made the surface of the folder according to her tutorial.

 These are 4 layers, Texture Past Graphite (She used sand gel medium), white gesso, French Roast Fresco and Crackle Glaze. (of the left)   Added Nougat Fresco. Wow!I love the crackle. After I used sandpaper to remove some of the Nougat.  I then sealed these layers with Satin Glaze (of the right)        

       

          
I used Prima stencils by French Roast and Chocolate Pudding Fresco. (of the left)  Then I painted by Snowflake Fresco and I blew the water. I then repeated three times.  (of the right)

I made six ATC, stamped LPC030  by Coffee Archival onto the white stamping card.

This is the front. The frame- I stamped same LPC030 and used some pastels then I cut it. I mixed Modeling Paste and Chocolate Pudding Fresco then put on the folder front. Also I put the Lynne's lady card onto the Modeling paste while the paste does not dry. When it dried I used White Fire Treasure Gold onto the paste.
Finally I was fitted with a latch.

Thank you stopping by have a happy craft-end !!
