Hello crafters and welcome.
Over on the PaperArtsy blog weekly project by Brenda Brown which you can see here. I was inspired by her stunning tag project and I played along.

I then painted London Night, Chocolate Pudding, Nougat Fresco onto the tag.
And it had dry I used Prima stencil and stenciled by Snow White Fresco.


I stamped Lynne Perrella  LPC028 and Hot Pick HP1109 onto smoothy heavy white paper and painted fresco some translucent colours.
These had dry I used Gloss Glaze 3times.



I haven't Chatsworth Paper then I used some paper under the tag.
I thought it was some distance between the moss and the LP lady but I had no idea... 

I tried to move the lady and it was successful, better than before.
I made the tag with great fun especially when I made the background.
Thank you for stopping by. xx

Practice No002

Hello everyone and welcome.
Today I practiced by Linda Brown over on her blog Saturday afternoon and a bit of a play! project which you can see here
And I played along with her. 


Today's points,
1, Using the grunge paste
2, Stamping by Fresco paint
3, Painting onto grunge paste

1, I did very carefully then I got good results.
2, I stretched fresco paint on the craft sheet and gave to the stamp.
   It was good method,  I then added some colours onto it but it was     bad. 
3, Linda wrote "with a clean brush" I did and it's fine!

I haven't Grunge paper then I used Amazon package. These were difference in the color tone to the paint. I need Tim Holtz's.

I had done with fun and thank you Linda!

Thank you stopping by. xx


Hand made frame no1


I made a small wood frame that I made in the 45 ° corners.
I had use a pate because there was a little gap to contact it.
Perfect  close contact is very difficult but I did another one it was better.

Hello crafters and welcome.
Etsuko is here, Over on the PaperArtsy blog Julie Bell pretty project which you can see here
I was inspired her project and I really wanted to play along.  I used new fab Darcy's stamps and made pencil pots. That is here.


I used empty cans. First I covered hole of out side by fresco Snowflake then  some blue fresco, some pink and Cheesecake fresco painted. I stamped Darcy's EDY05, EDY06, EDY08, EM02, EM08 by Archival Jet Black. Then painted by some Fresco onto cans and Smoothy white stamping card (These objects were fussy cut and glued onto the cans.)  I added paper laces because I thought the bottle top was little poor. It was not a finished enough the new stamps but I was very fun.
Thank you stopping by see you soon.
